An era of Norwegian ice hockey comes to an end with many remarkable achievements (promotion and 3 quarterfinals in WC).
Will be interesting to see if any major changes in playing philosophy will occur or it will be a continuation of the current playing style?

The playing style will be very similar, but can Petter Thoresen motivate our players like Roy did? I don’t think so….

Only time will tell.

I’m not sure, I hope not
Denmark vs Norway are always tight and close games, lets hope it stays that way. Always fun and exiting to watch.
