On March 28 hundreds of the best hockey players in the world will be in Malm\u00f6, Sweden. Malm\u00f6 is host to the 2015 IIHF Ice Hockey Women\u2019s World Championship. For one week, eight teams from Canada, Finland, Germany, Japan, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States of America will be competing for the World Championship.<\/p>\n
With the tournament coming up, you might want to brush up on your hockey vocabulary. Below is a list of Swedish hockey nouns that will help you as you discuss the World Championships with your friends. You\u2019ll probably notice that a lot of the words in Swedish are the same in English; that\u2019s why this vocabulary list is just a little bit longer. If you make it to the very end of the list, I\u2019ve included another fun word that is hockey-related, but not necessarily about hockey.<\/p>\n
