Sam Hallam will leave his mark on Tre Kronor.
Today he got his first chance when the squad for the Karjala Tournament was presented – Hallam's first squad since he took over as national team captain.
Included in the squad is debutant Jonathan Johnson, who normally lives in Skellefteå.
- It was a fun conversation to have.
He has worked for this for many years and he deserves the chance, says Hallam during the press conference.
Another debutant is Rickard Hugg, also in Skellefteå.
- We have tried to have a balance between finesse and toughness, we have really tried to build a team, says Sam Hallam to SVT Sport.
In the tournament, Sweden will face the Czech Republic, Finland and Switzerland.
