Modo Hockey.11 august örnsköldsvik

Was the day for Modo hockeys official first public icehockey training this season in Swedbank arena.

We were of course there and so were about 4-5000 other fans, and it was for sure a bliss, Peter forsberg and Sedin,dont remember if it was daniel or henrik, participated aswell and so did the new recruites lika tolsa.

One have to say that Peter looked more agile and light on his feets then he´s done in alot of years, it was great fun finaly seeing him play again in Övik and in a Modo jersey :) and he looked like he had a realy great time, which isnt something i can say i´ve seen in a long, long time.

It also marked the return of mr.modo, Magnus wernblom to the club and did he get a nice, warming welcome, the fans stood up and gave him a standing ovation, cheering, "werner, werner".

Great stuff and it realy made us all look forward til the start of the season even more!

Modo hockey.signs with Patrick yetman

A 27 year old Canadian player recently got signed to Modo Hockey, The current sm gold champions in Swedens elitserien ice hockey league, Modo has done a bunch of realy good recruitments last few years, including signing Karol Krizan for several seasons, Justin morrison last year(even tho it just ended with one season),Robert döme was another highlight, which sadly ended with just one season aswell even tho the player himself wanted to stay in the club and was realy loved by the fans.

Kristian Kusela was yet one more succesfull recruitment, signed just for the playoffs, and as such he did the match ending goals in the two last games, so i have high hopes that modo once again has done it´s homework.

Anyway, im sure Patrick is psyched over coming to Modo, playing in the worlds second best ice hockey league outside of NHL and getting to play for Modo, a globaly wellknown club and recognised for it´s ability to produce NHL stars, actually more then anyother town of it´s size in the world, so it will be fun to see how much energy he can bring with him.

Welcome to hockeyville Patrick.

nhl. anaheim brought home the cup

and a big hooray for samme, it´s always nice to see a modo player taking home something big, and he´s always been one of my fav players, a hard working, ass kicking player that doesnt make much headlines, but he´s always there doing his work better then most.

cheers
