Luleå wins European Trophy

Luleå wins European Trophy

Luleå Hockey won the final of the 2012 Red Bulls Salute (European Trophy playoffs) against Färjestad. Hero in the game between the two Swedish teams was a Finnish player, Joonas Vihko, who scored both the goals.

 
 
 
 
Färjestad outshot Luleå 35-28 in the European Trophy final in Slofnaft Arena in Bratislava, but the Luleå goalie David Rautio kept his net clean. In the net for Färjestad played Fredrik Pettersson-Wentzel as their usual first choice goalie Alexander Salak was busy with the Czech national team at Channel One Cup. Pettersson-Wentzel was beaten twice: both times by Joonas Vihko.

"Three good games and we earned this", said the goal scorer to Luleå's website.

The first goal was a deflection of a hard pass by Linus Persson. The second goal was scored after a big mistake by the Färjestad goalie who didn't see Vihko coming at the net. Instead of blocking the puck, Pettersson-Wentzel just gave it to Vihko who easily could score his second goal of the night.

Luleå had beaten Brynäs 4-3 in the quarter final and Vienna Capitals 2-0 in the semi final. For Luleå this was the first big title in 16 years.
