– I unfortunately missed the match as I was in Stockholm, which was quite inconvenient timing. 

What are your thoughts on the match?

– I was feeling nervous throughout. 

What was your reaction to yesterday's championship win? 

– It's a relief; winning the championship at home is a first for us, so it was long overdue. 

How did you celebrate (or plan to celebrate) the victory? 

– I marked the occasion with a restful night's sleep, and since I'm not currently in Skellefteå, I'll celebrate properly in Uppsala. I intend to share the excitement of Skellefteå's hockey triumph.

Linn Andersson, general manager at Boliden Rönnskär, was among the crowd at the thrilling championship game.

–The atmosphere was magical, she said.The entire community came together to cheer on Skellefteå AIK.

Thoughts on the game

– Oh, the nerves! It was an agonizing wait. We had so many scoring opportunities, but it took nearly a period and a half to take the lead.

Reaction to the championship win

– Pure joy! Huge congratulations to Skellefteå AIK. It's a well-deserved victory, especially considering the challenges they faced throughout the series.

Celebrating the victory

– We're taking the kids to the square today to cheer on AIK during the celebration. Then, we'll transition straight into celebrating Walpurgis!

Reaction to the championship win

– I wasn't entirely surprised. We have a fantastic team, and I knew they had the potential to win.

Celebrating the victory

– I suppose I should celebrate properly now. Perhaps I can already say I did – I took a ski trip this morning, feeling a bit inspired by all the energetic hockey players on the team!
