Sanni Hakala and her wife, Danny Stone

Finnish national team player and HV71 captain Sanni Hakala was severely injured in a collision with a goal post during a Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) match last month. The accident left her paralyzed from the chest down, ending her ice hockey playing career and presenting many new challenges.

If you are able, please donate to the GoFundMe established in her name to help cover her extensive medical expenses. The fundraiser is in Swedish krona (kr or SEK), which is easily converted to US dollars (US$1 ≈ 10kr) or Euros (1€ ≈ 11kr).

Yeah it's insane how many players have been/are in Linköping! From the top of my head and in no particular order it's:

Jonna Neto Minde Pernille Magda Frido Stina (x2) Nilla Kosse (3 times iirc) Frida Maanum Vangsgaard Bredgaard Labbé Pauline Hammarlund (now in Fiorentina and apparently the best paid player in Serie A) Lindahl Janni Arnth Rasmussen Jessica Wik (formerly Samuelsson) Slegers Gajhede Knudsen Nico Kildemoes Hurtig (with wifey) Selerud (now in Roma) Saori Takarada Landström (now in Roma) Mimmi Larsson (now in Kansas City Current) Angeldahl Dajan Hashemi Emma Holmgren (now in Lyon) Skinnes Hansen Ebere Orji Chinaza Uchendu Banusic Olga Ahtinen Yuka Momiki Uchenna Kanu Anna Oscarsson (now in Glasgow City) Rantanen Homare Sawa

Then the current coach Jeglertz can be added. He coached Umeå IK in their golden era with players like Marta, Hanna Ljungberg, Hanna Marklund, Frida Östberg, Caroline Jönsson, a young Lisa Dahlkvist, Sofia Jakobsson, Bachmann and Elaine in the squad. He then became head coach for Finland wnt and assistant coach for Canada wnt before he came to Linköping.

And of course Denise Reddy who's been a coach for Linköping twice and not to forget Martin Sjögren.

It is quite surreal the talent that’s been through, wonder what they put in the water up there to make them develop that much

Spotted this highlights with english commentary from the floorball world cup semi final between Sweden and Switzerland yesterday. The way our wnt is introduced by the commentator 😅 It was good to see this young swiss wnt has raised their level and is now able to challenge us. Last championship we defeated them 14-1 or something...

Final is played today against floorball arch rivals Finland who've had one more day of rest. We're defending champions and could win our ninth world cup title in a row. Won't be easy, it's always hard fought tough matches against the finnish

Noooo I didn't want it to be between Sweden and Finland for the 5th place and stay in the A-world cup 😭 but of fucking course we ended up having to play each other like the Magda vs Pernille last decisive qualifier in the group for the 2019 world cup 😂

We actually did way way better against Canada than I'd thought. What an incredible match with a last seconds 2-2 equaliser forcing Canada into overtime sudden death. We haven't been close to make them nervy in a very very VERY long time in a championship. To play like this against Canada on their home turf is an incredible feat. I feel like our ice hockey wnt is on the up again after years down in the dumps

Finland has gone downhill past few years with womens ice hockey... Sad to see that. 🫠

For the anon wondering about Jeglertz he coached Umeå IK for 5 years from January 2004 to December 2008. Umeå was the most dominant team in Sweden during the 2000's. They had players in the squad like a teenage Marta, a teenage Bachmann, Hanna Ljungberg, Hanna Marklund, Frida Östberg, a teenage Sofia Jakobsson and a teenage Lisa Dahlkvist. He has coached all of them.

Jeglertz won 4 league titles with Umeå in that time. In 2004 he lead Umeå to their second consecutive Women's Cup title (the predecessor to UWCL) and iirc they reached the final in 2005 and 2006. They played like 5 finals and won 2. He also led them to a Swedish Cup title in 2007.

He's been head coach for Finland wnt for 7 years from January 2010 to December 2016 and assistant coach for Canada wnt for 2 years and 1 month from January 2019 to January 2021. He became Linköping's head coach in January 2021 and will be their coach for 6 more games before the league goes on summer break. Probably will train the players who are not playing the World Cup until end of his contract, unless it's been agreed he'll leave the club earlier.

A little information for the anon (and everyone else)
