Brought the team up in HA – trades for competitor

Vimmerby took the step up in the Hockeyallsvenskan after final drama in the qualifying series. Now it is clear that coach Hampus Sylvegård chooses to change clubs for a league competitor.

Hampus Sylvegård has had a rocket career as a hockey coach. This year he was involved, against all odds, and brought Vimmerby up to the Hockeyallsvenskan. But he won’t stay until next season.

The 27-year-old will step in and take a role as assistant coach to Tommy Samuelsson in Nybro Vikings.

The contract is written for three years.

– I am looking forward to coming to Nybro and continuing on the journey that the association is on. I have heard a lot of good things about Nybro and their culture and interest in ice hockey. I want to be a part of it going forward, says Hampus Sylvegård to the club’s website.
