Tough start for Sweden in the junior WC

Last night, Sweden stepped into the junior WC which is played in the USA.

There awaited the host nation in Madison.

The blue and yellow talents got off to a heavy start at the championship.

The premiere ended 1-6.

The first period ended 0-4.

The Swedes played in the second period and in the third Modo's 15-year-old Ebba Hedqvist scored the first goal for Sweden.

"Lots to take"

After the initial loss, SVT Sports expert Maria Rooth makes the following analysis:

- Sweden must watch this match and try to learn a lot.

You lose it in the first period.

But there is a lot to take out and use to do better later in the tournament.

At 23.00 on Tuesday, Sweden will play Canada.

That match is broadcast on SVT2 and on SVT Play.
