Boyle!!!!
Nice that Boyle remembers the lockout season in Sweden and the name of the team he played for 😄
Williams dad (known as "Fimpen") was a grinder for Djurgarden, and a favourite among the fans even though he did not score that much. He was a skilled player in his youth, but he accepted a grinder role because he wanted to play for Djurgarden, his favourite team growing up. He is all heart. And a bit of a joker, as can be seen in his Youtube videos (Fimpens resa), where he travels across Sweden to meet with players and coaches in all teams in the SHL.
His dad is kind of a legend here in Sweden, every Djurgården fan loved him and every other team fan hated him (while he was playing), He is a really funny guy and as someone else said kind of a joker.
His dad has a youtube series when he visits different Swedish hockey clubs.
First of all… You need to get your fact checked. THEY won öast time 2001. They are not "top team" in sweden, they have not always played in SHL. Currently they are the second last in the league and hopefully they play HA next year. There is 12teams that is better.
