Denmark and Norway name rosters

26 Oct 2012 | Henrik Lundqvist

During the November break Denmark and Norway will play three friendly games. November 7 in Hvidovre, November 9 in Esbjerg and November 10 in Silkeborg. Both nations have named their roster. The greatest star to participate is Norway's Patrick Thoresen of SKA St. Petersburg (picture).

"We can hardly get a better and stronger opponent than a Norwegian team with their nearly strongest lineup", says Danish coach Per Bäckman. "Norway is currently among the world's top ten teams, as they proved at the World Championships in Stockholm in May. Spectators in Esbjerg, Hvidovre and Silkeborg are guaranteed good entertainment."
