- I travelled all the way to Luleå, Sweden to spend 100 hours with the SHL organization Luleå Hockey. In this video we spend tons of time with their athletes who even have NHL and Olympic experience. We go to three hockey games, including a trip on the road with their men’s team. The Women’s team is a hockey dynasty winning 5 of the last 6 SDHL Championships.

What a legend, hope you enjoyed your stay here in Sweden and that you were treated well by our people. We are from different cultures and speak different languages, but still share the same love for a sport, we are one big hockey family.
Next time you come here, I can only recommend you to experience a match between Djurgården - AIK, Two teams from Stockholm, the game is also called the Twin Derby, one of the oldest and fiercest rival meetings in the world (They literally hates each other, a lot of history and local patriotism involved in this derby.) They are also two of the most successful associations in Sweden in our two biggest sports, hockey and football (soccer), Djurgården and AIK have had a tough time in recent years and was relegated to our second tier league, but the games still have the world's best audience in Hockey, you won't regret exploring this fan culture. You can read more about it.

Thanks for all the extra info! Yes, I loved my time in Sweden, the people are awesome, food was great, and the scenery was incredible!
Can confirm these games are absolutely electric. I was visiting Stockholm from New York in October and happened to catch these two teams playing at Avicii arena and it was the most fun game/crowd I have ever witnessed.
I'm glad this showed up on my recomended page since Luleå is my team! Funny and interesting to get a look behind the scenes! Solid video! :D
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for the kind words!
Another top class vid. 👏🏻👏🏻 loved every second of it. For my tasted it could have gone on for another hour. Amazing shots you were able to capture there. Can't wait for what 2024 has in store. Keep up the great work. 🙏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much Seb! Always appreciate it!
Found your content randomly through my CZcams feed. Love the content and the inside look, keep them coming!
After the Habs video we got Scotland, England, Netherlands, France, Germany and Slovakia hockey coming! Thanks for the kind words!
Really awesome video, its from my home town, where I grew up (Luleå) moved 1300 kilometer south for 20 years ago, but still cheer for Luleå Hockey! :) Thanks for this video, was fantastic to see you cover the women's team too, they are amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This gave me goosebumps and really has shown me I need to go see hockey over in Europe. Plus, hockey is such an amazing game, no matter where it's played.
Really glad you enjoyed!
it's great - I've been to games in Czech Republic and Slovakia and the atmosphere is comparable to what you see here
@@sevendaughters so have I! Love those countries for a hockey game!
My dad and I have always been sports fans, but Judy within the last year we've became huge hockey fans, and your content is just so fun and interesting. Keep up the good work
So glad I can help you enjoy the game from a different lens! If there's anything you'd like to see to try and learn more, let me know! I'll see what I can do!
I love this video, hope you do more of this videos.
You should come back in may, april when it's playoffs in SHL 😊
I wish! Thanks for the kind words!
Some of the best hockey content on CZcams, keep it up man! 🤘🏼
Thanks a lot Erik! Much appreciated!!
Amazing video, loved that you covered both the men's and women's hockey programs! So happy this came up on my recommended videos. I learned a lot more about Swedish hockey and loved the behind the scenes content. Also the Turkish Pepper candies really do kick your butt but you were super brave to bite into it so good for you! I think North American hockey can take notes on how well the teams there work to accommodate their imports and make the experience fun and positive for our imports here! You would never know that there is a language barrier or anything, I look forward to watching more of your videos! Great job! Would love to see an Ilves or Tappara video with the new Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland. As a Canadian, I love going to Tampere and I think you'll have a great time there, they are super accommodating. Keep up the great work and keep up the women's content to keep inspiring women like me to go play overseas. Love it! Tack sa mycket !
Thanks so much for the kind words! Best of luck in your hockey journey. The organizations we've already filmed with and episodes in the bank don't have any Women's teams unfortunately but hope to film some more soon! In the meantime, this past summer we did film some off-season content with Abby Newhook who is the Captain of Boston College and Maggie Connors who is now playing for PWHL Toronto: czcams.com/video/JuaJf7Oxho0/video.html hope you enjoy!
I hope you keep making these videos man, keep it up, I’m loving them
We’ve got about 8 more in the bank from 6 different countries!
Thanks for another great video man. I enjoy your content
Appreciate you watching!
Fantastic video! Great access and you made the most out of it - loved to see it!
Glad you enjoyed!!!
What a great video man! Love the European content and you can’t beat the atmosphere at SHL games! I’d love to see a Rogle BK video soon!!
Great suggestion! Thanks for the kind words!
Great video Robert! Thanks for visiting my home town and favorite team! 🔴🟡⚫
Any time! It was so much fun, glad you enjoyed!
Thank you youtube for recommending me this! And thank you Robert!
Awesome content, even though LÅ isnt my team. Very well put together!
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it!
Great video as always Robert!
Glad you enjoyed it
great content!! more sweden please i loved it
Hopefully, I'll get back to Sweden soon but we got some great videos from other countries coming shortly!
@@RobertGreeley Finland IS GREAT Hockey Nation ! We have some Great players - that Nobody heard of or say their names right ! So We have forbidden players with long names to take part - so that at NHL lastnames are easier to say... Shortest name IS AHO - Sebastian - but even Sweden has come out a player by the very same name ! then #2 Patrik LAINE - #3 Erik HAULA #4 Juuse SAROS #5 Joel ARMIA #6 and Mikael KOTKANIEMI ! as He was Montreal 1st round Draft pick - but later Hurriganes at Caroline bought HIM out !
Åååh vi älskar, vi älskar, vi älskar LULEÅ!!!!! ❤💛🖤 Thanks for the great video!! Lule has been my team since the early 80's, eventhough I live in Gothenburg 1300 klicks away.
Glad you enjoyed! I also made a video in Gothenburg!
Amazing content. Subscribed. Liked. Shared. Love from sweden. Cheers from a Timra ik fan!
Thanks for the kind words Timmy!
That was really a great video. I liked seeing the locker rooms. I wonder what the snack you spit out was. 😂
Happy to hear! Honestly, I'm learning that I wasn't supposed to chew it but it was like a spicy candy... idk not a fan tbh lolol
oh man this is awesome i grew up in luleå and all my family lives there loved the team my whole life. so cool that u got to go up there and see a few games and meet everyone.
Glad you like the video! It's always an added compliment when people from the area I'm filming in enjoy the content!
I am from the UK and went to my first NHL game in Detroit last month. Since then I have been saying my next trip will be to Sweden to see some hockey and oh boy does this put the NHL to shame. The atmosphere is electric!
Hope you get a chance to visit Luleå to!
The best hockeyplayers gobto nhl but the best hockeyfans stay in Sweden. It will never happen but wierd to havr a draft for supporters hahaha
You have plane from London to Vaxjo Sweden. Good team and the atmosphere is really really good. Top notch 👍 takes only 1,5 hour with plane also.
Nothing beats the Luleå atmosphere. I mostly see them on the road due to geographical challenges but wow do they really bring a crowd and a pulse wherever they go. Hope you come to Sweden and hope you go north! Welcome and enjoy!
@@markush6248 Better to go to Landvetter and watch Frölunda
Thats sick man! I've always loved watching oversea hockey and seeing fomer NHLers play on the teams!
Glad you liked the video!
Found your content randomly through IG reels. Awesome content! Hope to see alot more in the future, hopefully youll be back at a later day to also watch the second division (Hockeyallsvenskan) and a derby match like Djurgården - AIK or someone of those teams against Södertälje.
Glad you enjoyed! We’ve got episodes coming in Scotland, England, Netherlands, France, Germany and Slovakia! Hope to be back in Sweden soon!
He went to Skellefteå-Luleå, that's a pretty big derby! I get your point though, DIF get great crowds for playing in the 2nd tier
the ACTUAL biggest derby in Sweden ;)
@kriho02 in terms of pure hockey derbies, for sure. I know Skellefteå say they hate Björklöven more but they aren't going to play each anytime soon. And AIK-DIF is a derby in all sports
@@calumhill512 Skellefteå is the ones who hate Björklöven, not Luleå.
Great video, really enjoy your content.
Thanks Josh!
awesome , thanks for making this
Thank you!!
The atmosphere at a sold out Luleå game is really REALLY good. Been to 100s of em. Nice vid.
Thanks for the kind words!
This video was sick!
Glad you enjoyed!!
There is only one club in the world and it is LULEÅ!!! Soooo happy you had the opportunity to enjoy our amazing club and meet the equally amazing people working for it. It's more than a club, it's a lifestyle!
Loved my time in Luleå!
absolute banger (as a hockey fan) keep it up
Thank you!
Goosebumps all over or as we say in sweden, ståpäls. ;) Luleå is the Philadelphia Flyers of Sweden, hard working, hard nosed team that's tough to play against, and of course hated by most other team supporters. That's how we like it! 😝 Great video, hope this shows you North Americans that we can play hockey too, and that our supporters rock almost every hockey barn in the country! 🤘🤠🤘
Glad you enjoyed! Funny though, I had someone tell me Luleå was the Toronto Maple Leafs of Sweden! lolol
@@RobertGreeley The hated bit's maybe the same, but the Maple Leafs are too soft of a team to be compared to LULEÅ. 😂😜
I’m jealous , it’s my favorites SHL team would love to go there for a game , best goal horn ! Sub !
Glad you liked the video!
Thank you for this video!!
I come from Luleå myself, been going to games since i was a kid =)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Vids! I love them. You should see if you can do some CHL content !
Like the Canadian Hockey League or the Champions Hockey? I do have some Canadian Hockey League content on this channel!
Awesome video! Greetings from 🇨🇭
Can't wait to film a full video in Switzerland!
Great video! Thanks
Thank you!
17:32 Turkish Pepper, one of my favorite candies! You're supposed to suck on them, not bite into them and get shocked by the pepper XD
Lesson learned lolol
Awesome stuff dude.
Glad you liked it!
Great video, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
The best thing about playing in Sweden is that people are friendly and honest, that there is no language barrier and that the standard is so high. Most of it is so professional. It is easier to feel at home there than in many other European countries.
Sweden's definitely a top spot to be playing for sure!
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
great content!! fun to see you guys from Canada show some intrest in our League!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great vid! Hope you will go to Kazakhstan someday! At least I will be happy to meet you!
I've looked into it! Maybe one day!
please do västra frölunda, and when they play against färjestad because thats a heated game too. keep up the good work man
Thanks for the kind words! Not sure when I'll be back in Sweden!
Great video. LHF!
Glad you enjoyed!
Good content right here bub
Thank you!
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
New aspiration - go to a hockey game in each hockey country starting with Sweden. What an atmosphere.
I’ve been to games in 13 different countries now and each one has its own uniqueness to it!
while you were at the AIK game i was at the HV vs Växjö game, another derby, not as big of a rivalry, still like second largest id say, maybe 3rd lol
Cool!
Love this channel, can you go to a worcecster railers same?
Thank you! Maybe someday soon!
Nice video. Hope you had a nice time in Luleå.
Loved it!
Really good video
Thanks for the kind words!
Skellefteå AIK on top babyyyyyy🖤💛🖤💛
They played great that game I watched, will see how the season ends up!
Luleå hockey, the team in my heart ❤️
Awesome !!
Please come to Linköping next!
Maybe one day!
@@RobertGreeley You definitely should! Going to a game between Linköping and HV71 is a surreal feeling.
King you choosed the best team❤️💛🖤
Had a great time!
Really hope you can do this in finland
Tell the Finnish teams to get in touch!
@@RobertGreeley well if you wanna get an SM-Liiga team (Finnish first league). I'm personally an Porin Ässät fan, but TPS and Ilves are good too. There's also Mestis (second league), from there I would recommend Kiekko-Espoo or Jokerit
Go to Djurgården-AIK, biggest games in sweden
I've heard good things!
Do those cheer leaders on those ladders get on ya if you don’t cheer and chant enough? Crazy atmosphere
They hype up the crowd that's for sure!
Yes, they dont appericiate if you buy a standing ticket (that is usually cheaper for the hardcore fans instead of seats) just to stand around and be quite and not participate.
whats the camera setup/rig look like?
I use Canon! So, the bodies I travel with are the R5 and R6 right now. Lenses all depends on the situation but 70-200 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8, and 14-35 f4
I am from Luleå and a fan
Hope you enjoyed the video!
In peewees we'd play Saturday at 5:00AM, we had 2 minute shifts, timed, maybe 5/6 shifts, that's it for the week, it's all about ice time, 10 minutes a week isn't much time to learn.
Interesting
Craziest derbys in Sweden are actually Djurgården-AIK the Stockholm teams or Mora-Leksand the big ”Dala”-rivalry
What makes them different?
Robert I see an interview with one Ted Hitchcock in your future after the weekend he had keep up the good work one Newfie to another
Hahaha much appreciated! Me and Terry have done some great content in the past! Even one of the most viewed videos on this channel!
Oh I know great interviews
We are owning that
Owning what?
Sounds like a soccer game at arena
Honestly, it's very similar!
Try a team in Småland sweden hv71 or växsjö 😊
I’ll make a note!
Luleå❤️💛🖤
Hope you enjoyed the video!
did the womens game have even 100 fans??? how does it exist over there? Are all the teams one enitity so the main mens team helps to fund the others including jrs?
Total attendance for that game was around 200, which is what they tend to average for regular season, going up to around a high of 3,000 in the playoffs! It is one entity so the Men's, Women's, and Junior programs are all under the same organization!
Yesss luleå eee bäst
🙌
I’m a figure skater but I support a ice hockey team (Sheffield steelers) people might of heard of that team bc the accident but it take a lot of practice for this
I know Sheffield, a friend of mine plays there
Skellefteå vs. Luleå is FAR from the craziest derby you can see in Sweden.
What would your top one be?
@@RobertGreeleyDjurgården - AIK, both Stockholm teams.
I am planning to be a hockey player but i live in London so what do i do?
Train hard, network, and don’t give up would be my advice but noted I never made it past high school and provincial hockey in Canada
@@RobertGreeley thanks for the advice I won't give up but in London my secondary school doesn't play
@@Issacakmye Look abroad maybe for a scholar ship, we actually have one australian here in our u16 in Luleå so you might be able to get yourself one
You need to move away from UK ! Try Finland or Sweden - everybody plays hockey - at many levels !
@@holoholopainen1627 Thanks for the advice I will move in a few years
You should have tryed snus!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 16:45
Hahaha I was tempted not gonna lie
u should do same video but u are living 100 hours with the swedish team: Färjestad BK
Maybe if they invite me!
Yea!
The biggest hockey derby in Sweden is AIK vs DIF.
Heard about that one!
Aahahah. Yes! reverse the ranking of the snacks and you are good to go. Turkisk Peppar is not for the weak!
Not for the weak indeed lolol
Those northern teams have the most passionate fans, in southern Sweden football steals too much of the money and attention.
Didn't see any teams from down south but the crowd at these games was indeed, incredible!
It was sad that Lindbom got hurt that game aganist Luleå :/
Hope he's doing better!
Even some Finnish players has played at Luleå ! Such Greats as Veli-Matti RUISMA & Jarmo MYLLYS ! I believe that MYLLYS - IS The BEST Goalie of Team Luleå - of ALL TIME ?
Definitely lots of Finnish players in the Luleå organization!
@@RobertGreeley You must remember that 1995 Stockholm Sweden hosted The World IIHF Championship Games... with The Song Den glider in... - as in the Final Sweden played Finland - at brand New GLOBEN ARENA ! ALL Swedes were on The Swedish side... but They had to face JARMO #35 MYLLYS of LULEÅ ! As Never before - had Finland won The TITLE !
can you make the same video about the club from Russia?
What club?
@@RobertGreeley Spartak
@@AntonMoskwa77Can you even travel between Russia and Europe / North America anymore?
@@JJJ111JJJ no
Luleå
🙌🙌
imagine going to sweden to watch hockey, and you go and watch the team that is known for their boring hockey!
Nah not boring at all!
❤️💛🖤
Skellefteå 5-2🤫🤫🤫
Had a feeling the Skellefteå fans would like that part!
And my grandfather
Cool!
Going to Sweden and choose one team to spend time with and that being Luleå😂😂😂 (Sorry not sorry, norrlänningar) It would be like I went from Sweden to spend time with one NHL team and choose Arizona coyotes…
I think you’re way off with the Luleå to Arizona comparison tbh
@@RobertGreeleynahh it’s spot on
@@jeremyroenick2202 eller hur 😂
skellefteå-luleå is a good derby but not the best in sweden, skellefteå-björklöven and djurgården-aik is better :)
Noted!
You living with wrong team.
I wouldn't say that!
Omg u call that a Derby. Hahaha thats a joke. Rögle vs Malmö. The biggest derby of em all. Go to Ängelholm and Catena Arena and see Malmö get beat up by Rögle BK
Heard cool things about Malmö!
@@RobertGreeley Malmö is shit.
I'm not from Sweden but even I know the Skåne derby isn't the biggest in Sweden, not even the biggest in Southern Sweden.
@@calumhill512 you aint know shit about swedish hockey then. What is bigger in southern sweden region then mr" i know everyrhing".
Luleå - Skellefteå is not even a derby.. Björklöven - Skellefteå is the hottest derby in Sweden!
It is
Djurgården - AIK is the hottest derby, and I say this as a Hammarby fan
Sant @@fortniteburken7129
What would you say classifies something as a derby game then?
@@RobertGreeley The two teams have to be situated in the same city or in the same area ish and there has to be a rich history behind it. For me, those criteria are decisive whether a matchup should be refered to as a ”game” or a ”derby”.
You should really visit Stockholm sometime to experience it. The soccer games are crazier tho with nearly 50 000 people in the arena. Hockey is limited to 14 000, but still a fantastic experience.
Enjoyed the video as always!
Skellefteå aik better at producing talent
What makes you say that? Curious!
Many players that Skellefteå take through is players that have played in Luleå and doesent get a place in the First team, Thats why many move to Skellefteå
i dont care
You obviously do though
@@RobertGreeley Im sorry, I was angry at something else and had your video in the que so i just took out on you. I have now calmed downed and watched your video and thought it was really well made. Thank you!
Linus Omark = The biggest crybaby in the league along with that disgraceful thing they like to call a team.
