The empty space between the audience and the arena is due to this being a multi-arena from the 70's. They have concerts and other things here as well. The arenas dedicated to hockey usually have the audience sitting right up to the protective glass.

TWO of the greatest goal tenders in the NHL has played in Frölunda. Henrik "The King" Lundqvist (New York Rangers) and Fredrik Andersen (Carolina Hurricanes). The latter used to play for Toronto Maple Leafs, as well ;) Edit 1: The indian chief you can see on the jerseys of the fans is the old logo. The team used to be called Frölunda Indians before a woman with native American ancestors thought it was offensive, the case got reviewed by a native American association and they deemed it not racist. The team changed the logo and name anyway, in 2021. Skellefteå AIK (SAIK) is not associated with AIK, the team from Stockholm. SAIK stands for Skellefteå Allmänna IdrottsKlubben. It's a franchise with the same logo for both hockey and football. AIK IF stands for Allmänna IdrottsKlubbens IshockeyFörening. AIK is also a sports franchise from Stockholm with the same logo for different sports such as hockey and football.

[@iarmycombo5659]

If my Swedish classes from a Finnish high school arent failing me terribly, the AIK is the same because it means "Public Sports Club", like "PSC", if that was a common abbrevietion in English. So the real difference is probably usually the first letter which is often from the city name although they both would start with S so i guess its good the other one in this case is IF so "icehockey club" if i recall correctly. The AIK from Stockholm is according ti the most trusted source, wikipedia, is called just AIK probably because its kind of the AIK cuz its probably biggest and most popular cuz its from the capital. (Förening is more like an association i think but i would assume in this case its more like club. Klubben also means club. So if im translating correctly, the nuance is probably lost [some might argue im thus not translating correctly])

[@cynic7049]

@@iarmycombo5659 The one in Stockholm used to be Solna AIK but dropped Solna (a Stockholm suburb) from the name, since almost everybody just called them AIK anyway.

[@92xsaabaru-]

From what I've read on the Indian logo, it was added in the late 80s or 90s when a lot of Swedish teams tried to "Americnanize"(Canadize?) themselves with mascots. Västra Frölunda as the team was original named and being on the west coast gave them a Wild West nickname, but they didn't want cowboys and guns. After dropping the Indian logo and nickname, the first new logo was absolutely terrible, but the new one is pretty neat and is based on a much older logo, so if anything, they are returning to their roots.

[@ElTeesModellingCorner]

@@92xsaabaru- In the early 80's (if I'm not mistaken) Västra Frölunda was nick named Vilda Western (The Wild West) as they had a couple of tough guys on the team. I think that was part of the reason as to why they switched to Frölunda Indians once the Swedish teams tried to become more americanized with their names, merch, mascots and such. I may well be wrong though... 🤣

AIK stands for Allmänna Idrotts-Klubben which basically means "general sports club". It's almost like a sports version of inc. If you know what I mean. You can see abbreviations for hockey like HK, soccer FK or BK, and general sports as SK or IK. H=Hockey, F=Football, B=Ball, S=Sports, I=Athletics and so on.

Back in the mid 90's, many SHL (then SEL) teams added English words to their names. If I recall correctly it was encouraged by the league in order to try to increase viewership by making Swedish hockey feel a bit more Americanized. Frölunda went with, eh, Frölunda Indians for some reason. A name they kept until 2021! Djurgården was Djurgården Lions for a while. Some others were Bofors Bobcats, HV71 Blue Bulls (🤣), and Oskarshamn Atomics. Many teams later dropped the English word.

The arenas are usually multipurpose, not just for hockey. So the boards can be dismantled easily and floors can be placed over the ice to host a concert or w/e. It can be setup and dismantled in less than a few hours. If you ever go to a hockey only arena, you get seats close to the boards or can even stand up against the boards.

[@Hiznogood]

Canadians and Swedes are very alike because we are for the most nice and friendly, but we take hockey very serious! One of the few times my late mother used foul words was when she watched Tre Kronor (Swedish National team) play hockey and someone fouled a Swedish player.

[@truckdriver1982]

Cool that you came to my hometown and saw "my" team. Frölunda was Very lucky to get away with a win on that one...but it was needed! And I must say that the stick save was probably the sickest save I have Ever seen. Lets hope he dosent do any more of those 😁 Scandinavium is a pretty massive arena...but also old. And there is a lot of other activites in it. Thats why there are those pretty big gaps between the ice and spectators.

[@kimberly740]

About the beer and alcohol in Sweden, the laws are super strict about having permits for selling. You cannot buy beer over 3,5% in general stores or kiosks, only in places that have a permit for it. That's also why you cannot bring it outside of the bar, because the permit is only for that specific area of the arena.

Second in Sweden was Leksand IF goalie Filip Larsson (Leksand and Frölunda met in quarter final). Scandinavian full arena 12 244 spectators.

Nice video...Scandinavium is 'multiarena'🇸🇪 Take the train to the south, Ängelholm and watch hockey Rögle BK

[@Swedenr1]

Some facts: Skellefteå AIK: The choice of name came from the fact that Idrottsbladet was a popular read at the time and they wrote a lot about AIK, which was very popular throughout the country at the time. Therefore, they stayed with the club name Skellefteå AIK. You could read about this on Skellefteå AIK Fotboll's website until the association merged with some other clubs in January 2006 to form Skellefteå FF. Since 1921, when choosing a club color and club mark, it was an easy choice. AIK had black jerseys with yellow collars, so Skellefteå AIK would naturally have black jerseys with yellow collars, and since AIK's socks were black and yellow striped, Skellefteå AIK's socks were also black and yellow striped. Other than that, Skellefteå AIK and AIK are totally different clubs from different citys. Skellefteå AIK is from Skellefteå way up north in Sweden while AIK is from Solna, which is just outside Stockholm. Frölunda HC? 2022 Frölunda switched from a typical American NHL logo which was the Indian, to a more traditional club brand. The traditional club brands are much more popular in Sweden and the NHL logos are traditionally frowned upon. The decision to go from the Indian to this new brand was made in late 2021 due to the debate that was going on then about the racism in these logos and was met with mixed reactions. Some wanted a change, some really loved the Indian. The new club brand was voted for on a membership meeting by the members. For information, in Sweden all sports clubs are ruled by members (Members own 51% of the club), and anyone can become a member for a small fee (in Frölunda HC it's 500kr which is about 50 USD). So basically the decision to go with this particular brand was made by the members. Although the decision to walk away from the Indian was made by the board in Frölunda HC, without including the members, which they should have done. The reason that you see so many people with the Indian shirt in the arena is because some don't want to put money into buying a new jersey and some simply prefer the Indian and don't want to wear a jersey with the new brand. Me? I prefer the new brand.

I hope Djurgården goes up this year and school everyone on atmosphere again. They usually get's rated highest by sports critiques when it comes to loudness and creating atmosphere especially during playoff hockey. And as a hockey fan I agree, it's just different. Though cred to the other teams been stepping it up in recent years with their crowds. The second division just brings everything down naturally though. Less interesting teams and rivalries, smaller arenas, less quality on the ice, way less economy... Some teams do belong there with SHL too big of a stage for them. Others don't with Allsvenskan too small of a stage. Like Djurgården right now is a 2nd division team on the performance side with a 1st division organization being held back by the circumstances.

AIK just means "Allmänna IdrottsKlubb" = public sport(ing) club, these were very common before and was just for the public to exercise and enjoy themselves. Usually they organized many different sports like skiing, football, hockey, running and more under the same roof for recreational purposes. This is also why you have both hockey teams and football teams called "Djurgården" (just means animal park) and "AIK" in Stockholm, they both originated from clubs where there were many different sports. It's also why you have a Skellefteå AIK in Skellefteå, it's just another public sport club (has nothing to do with AIK from Stockholm).

[@kasperhamrin3130]

[@ClasBladquist]

AIK (The Public Sports Club) is the original team from Stockholm and also the largest club in Sweden in terms of fans. Soccer is today where you find most of their fans. Skellefteå AIK is bad copy (which is obvious when comparing the two clubs logos), but their hockey team is really good these days. Largely thanks to financial support from the city of Skellefteå despite having a financial deficit. In Stockholm it’s exactly the opposite. Hockey teams AIK and Djurgården receive no support at all from the city and find it difficult to conduct sports activities. At the same time that Stockholm has good finances and its surplus is distributed to cities such as Skellefteå, Malmö, Karlstad, Leksand, Örnsköldsvik, Ängelholm, Timrå, Oskarshamn, Luleå. All with teams in division 1. So you can say that the money that the city of Stockholm should use to give Djurgården and AIK a reasonable environment to work in, is sent to the clubs in the SHL (division 1). Don't know how long you're in Sweden but if you want to experience the undisputed best atmosphere in Sweden make sure to buy tickets for the Twin Derby in Stockholm between AIK - Djurgården, Sunday 21 April.

[@lind202]

It was skellefteås backup goalie that played his first game in the playoffs.

[@OldVikingSchool]

To answer why the Scandinavium looks "cheap" is because they rebuilt the arena some years ago to have a good large sized indoor concert arena for bigger international stars. However Nya(eng: new) Ullevi has a mechanical roof and due to it's size it was simply the better option to haul in a massive amounts of people. So big national stars and not so big international stars performs here now if they ever decide to tour multiple Swedish cities not only Stockholm.

I'm so embarrassed about the whole beer situation in Swedish arenas.. shameful really. If you want a proper beer, you have to rush off to the pub in the intermission and stand in line like a f*cking russian in the early 90's, only to miss half the next period.

Skellefteå AIK is from northern sweden, AIK is otherwise from Stockholm as u said. AIK stands for "allmänna idrottsklubb (general athletesclub).

One potential reason that the boards and ice looks different, since you seem to bring it up at the start of both this and the djurgården video, is that Scandinavium is not a permanent hockey arena, and the ice is thusly not permanent either. Djurgårdens is probably permanent. As for why we're not crowding the boards, I guess its one of those 'we've always done it this way, so now we just use safety as an excuse to keep it that way'. As far as I know, most large arenas in the US and Canada are permanent and purpose built, correct me if I am wrong.

0. You probably got a Cider, swedish pronounciation is siideer so easy to mishear for beer. 1. #29 in Skellefteå Dilan Sikura is also a Canadian. 2. AIK is just an abbreviation of "allmän idrottsklubb" = General sportclub. So its like if a hockeyteam adds HC to the for hockey club or soccer teams using FC for football club. The club that only calls themselves AIK is from Solna, Stockholm and was the(?) first club in sweden to use that abbreviation andsome stuckup fans from their side get pissed when others useit so ofc we do just to tease them! 3. Ref helmetcam is correctly used for the broadcast. 4. The reason most arenas have an area between the ice and the bleachers is that they are multi-arenas used for more than hockey (I know thats the case for many NHL arenas too but since these arenas are smaller they need cheaper solutions). 5. SHL is arguably the second best hockey-league in the world (overall quality of players).

Said activist has also claimed the Börje Salming was to white to be a Sami aka northern Swedish native popilace. Also the first new logo Frölunda presented was quite close to a German 30's and 40's logo no one in their right mind would ever want on their teams chest. Mats grauers presentation of it was legendary with everyone beeing dead silent and him on the scene saying "You may now clap" it was first after the fans threatened with riots that the board started to listen. It was a horrible mess.

The main problem about the Arena is it’s tho oldest arena in Sweden still in use at the top division. And that shows in all. But it’s about to be replaced in a couple of years. Capacity of Scandinavium is 12044, Biggest in Sweden. Average number of spectators at hockey are 10563 per game.

@@icemanfbk451 kolla publiksiffrorna från sent 70 tidigt 80-tal innan de digitala biljetterna. Gick in många på samma biljett. Vet vi var fyra på samma biljett under slutspelet.

Ja så är det säkert. Men jag syfta inte på publiksiffror för 40-50 år sedan utan på storlek på arenan samt maxkapaciteten i nutid. Men, Scandinavium är en härlig arena med en hockeykunnig publik.

@@icemanfbk451 som Göteborgare skäms jag över politiker som inte fattat att Scandinavium är 50 år och borde ersatts för tio är sedan. Vi behöver en modern multiarena i centrum. Bara en sådan sak som att behöva åka till Partille för att gå på en konsert är uselt. Men hoppas vi får en ny hockeylada för 20.000 på hockey på Scandinaviums plats. …dock glad över att vi slipper visa upp Frölundaborg som slutspelsarena. Så som vi gjort tidigare år när det varit hästhoppning

[@noelrosseland4587]

why the crowd has a diffrent logo is because frölunda had to change logo after a kärring got offended
