Sam Hallam has had exactly the start he wanted to his time as national team captain.
He has won all the tournaments since he saved.
In Malmö, they secured the tournament victory by beating Finland 3-1.
- I leave with a good feeling.
I think it has been a good week.
But then you need to let things sink in a bit and look more factually at what we got out of the week, he says and continues:
- I am very satisfied with the group's mentality and competition.
I think you notice that a couple of guys came in who have a lot of experience playing in Tre Kronor and championships, they are raising the level.
The WC will be played in May in Tampere, Finland, and in the Latvian capital, Riga.
When SVT asks which of the players in Malmö have strengthened their WC shares, Hallam points out one - Skellefteå's seasoned center Pär Lindholm.
- Pär Lindholm continues to be very good in Tre Kronor.
Then a lot comes down to the balance of a WC team.
Roles, which players we want from North America, who have the opportunity, says the national team captain.
Many of the players praise Sam Hallam.
One of them Växjö defender Hardy Häman Aktell who scored his first national team goal in the match against Finland.
- He has put together a great team, Sam.
And he is good at conveying how we should play.
He is a good coach.
We all pull in the same direction when we play.
No one leaves the frame, says the 24-year-old.
