Many have indicated that there will be no continuation of Joakim Lindström in the parent club.
Now everything has changed – Skellefteå has announced that the club’s icon will continue at least for next season.
– I feel like I have a little more time to give him and this special chance to win again… To win with the boys, that would have been the final, Lindstrom says to the club’s website.
In an interview with Nuran, coach Robert Olson already counted the 38-year-old from overtime play.
Jock said early on that he wouldn’t be driving here now with us. Then she hopes he’ll back down on that decision, but that’s his question. He’s not here and he hasn’t traveled with us all summer. Ohlsson said as recently as the day before yesterday, but we will never close any doors to Jocke.
The winds seem to have turned in record time – on Friday morning, Skellefteå announced that Lindström would start his eleventh season at the parent club. The contract is valid for the next season and the first training session of the season is today.
“Winning with the boys would be the best”
– It feels so much fun. It will be fun to go out on the ice with the boys again. I feel charged. It looks like we have a very good squad, so it will be very interesting,” Lindstrom tells the club’s website.
– I feel like I have a little more time to give him and this special chance to win again… To win with the boys, that would have been the final. I have this opportunity here and now, to be a part of it and try to win SM gold again – and that’s what drives me.
General Manager Eric Forsell:
– Of course, it feels great to finish Jocke. We had a dialogue for a long time and he needed some time to feel he had the power to give it all. He’s so excited and excited to win again, getting his drive and quality in the group will be very important for us in the fight to win SM gold.
