Yesterday, Karlskoga was forced to cancel training, because they had as many as 16 players away with injuries and illnesses.
Tonight there were 15 players away, when they took on the top team Björklöven.
Despite that, they managed to win 2–1, with seven juniors in the lineup, among other things.
And in the goal was the 17-year-old Italian Damian Clara, who was loaned from Färjestad during the afternoon.
- It was a heroic effort where all players took great responsibility, skated a lot and really stood up in a great way, says coach Karl Helmersson to Nya Wermlands-Tidningen.
"Of course great fun"
One of the goals was scored by a debuting junior, namely Edwin Sandahl.
- Of course, it's great fun to get this opportunity.
It was about making everything as simple as possible, he says.
"Shaggy pissed off"
The voices in the Björklöven camp were not as happy.
- I'm really pissed off and disappointed, says defender Kim Johansson to the local newspapers in Umeå.
