18 Jan 2012 | Fredrik Pålsson

Hockey legends like Börje Salming, Peter Forsberg, Esa Tikkanen and Jari Kurri will play when Sweden's and Finland's legends will play in Stockholm on February 9.

The Oddset Hockey Games is played between the 8th and 12th of February in Ericsson Globe, on the rest day a game between legends from Sweden and Finland will be playet at Hovet next door to the Globe Arena.

The Swedish team will be coached by 1994 Olympic Gold Medal Winner Curt Lundmark, "I'm fascinated by that sixty year olds can sit in the locker room and yell at eachother if we should be down before the third period. These are guys that really wants to win. It will probably look like a friendly game the first five minutes but wait until everyone has made a shift on the ice, then the competition will really start".
