Hello Everybody,

Dick Carlsson is an old friend of mine and director at Goteborg's (my home town) hockey association. For decades they've been running this tournament, and it's very popular. The 48 openings fill up quickly, but they really want some North American teams, so I thought I'd forward this year's invitation for Jan. 2011. The tournament is for players born 97 and later (but they do have some rules allowing kids born Oct.-Dec. 1996 to participate).

If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact Mr. Carlsson!

Keep up the good work!

Bjorn Kinding
