Listen now
Description
I had a chat with Tomas Monten, head coach of Sweden's national junior team at the U20 Four Nations Cup in early November. We talked about his journey to becoming the head coach of Sweden’s national junior team, what his schedule looks like throughout the year, the challenges of navigating this full time position, the importance of their many international tournaments throughout the year, not only for player evaluation, but player development as well, the impact of more and more Swedish players going to North America to play in the junior leagues and AHL and what the expectations are for Team Sweden at this year’s world junior championship in Czech Republic. I think you're going to find this interview very insightful, so don't miss it!
