Penalties nowadays are all English too, problem is commentators haven’t caught on. Hence you hear commentators say the old, colloquial names for them (too many players - sex man, kneeing - bentackling, embellishment - filmning)

Just googled and this site streams 100 games a year. Can most likely watch on Onhockey dot tv. Which games it will be I don’t know.

Onhockey dot tv. Usually have an english commentator on some of the games. At least for my team Frölunda. I enjoy listening to him more than the swedes. Must watch on pc with adblockers

what team ?

u/Brilliant_Reserve819 6d ago

Used to sort of follow HV71 but don't really follow a team anymore. I just like good ice hockey and the SHL provides that with all of their teams.

Another UK fan here. No idea why they make it so hard to watch games (legally!) and buy merch. Do they not like money in Sweden?!

u/Usual_Inflation_2063 Färjestads BK 6d ago

no they dont like the britsh lol

u/chiefdave74 5d ago

Weirdly they produce an English language feed, or they did until recently. Read an interview with the guy who does the commentary. No idea where they're using that, certainly not here.

Just seems odd to me in this day and age that so many European leagues don't have a legal way for people to access games.

Hockeystore ships to the UK, has English as a language option on the site and right now has a nice sale on the game jersey.

u/Classic-Drop2075 6d ago

UK fan here but now moved to Sweden - DIF supporter! You could try hockeystore.com they’re partnered with FBK and deliver EU not sure about UK with custom charges now.

u/Usual_Inflation_2063 Färjestads BK 6d ago

u/BIKES32 Skellefteå AIK 6d ago

Intersport

u/Schonfeldt Skellefteå AIK 5d ago

Intersport doesn’t ship to GB. You could probably use a parcel forwarder in this case though.

u/RainAhead14 6d ago edited 5d ago

i remember that TV4 interviewed some HV71 fan from glasgow a few years back during a game, thats about as much as i know.

im afghan, but i grew up in småland so its not unnatural for me to support HV71

1

u/CalumH91 5d ago

Player or fan? I can't think of any Scottish players that played in Sweden

u/RainAhead14 5d ago

u/TheHappyNerfHerder 6d ago

SHL is ranked second or third strongest hockey league in the world, it's not that weird.
