Matt Tomkins is now presented by Färjestad.
Something Sportbladet was able to reveal on December 30th.
Inspiring to get into and represent the champion team, says the 27-year-old goalkeeper.
It started with Sportbladet which revealed on November 22 that Lasse Johansson was ready to return to Frölunda for next season.
During the fall, Matt Tomkins played heavily for FC Gothenburg and the information for himself was a huge disappointment.
– It was cracking and affecting my game. “I wasn’t satisfied with the situation,” Matt Tomkins said after losing 4-1 in the semi-finals of the Swedish Championship against Lulea.
Tough end to the season
Now he has instead signed a two-year contract with Swedish champions Färjestad as a replacement for successful Czech goalkeeper Dominic Forch.
At FC Karlstad, head coach Thomas Mittel of the Chicago Blackhawks is already known.
There he will form a pair of goalkeepers with talented 20-year-old Denis Hildeby.
Matt Tomkins had the worst second half of the season with Frölunda, but he also played the Olympics and World Cup for Canada.
The only match in Finland was a World Cup final break after Chris Dredger sustained injuries linked to Finland’s 1-1 draw in the third period.
Then Matt Tomkins dropped three high setbacks on the side of the club glove.
Missing Leading Positions
Next season, Färjestad also lost centers Jacob de la Rose and Gustav Rydahl as well as downhills Jesse Virtanen and Adam Ginning.
The list of priorities also includes solving the problem of the continuation of Theodor Linstrom’s hill.
The obvious new acquisitions are also defenders August Thorberg (Vasteras), Axel Bergqvist (Mora) and forward Henrik Björklund (Karlskoga).
Back loan Albert Johansson also goes back to the Detroit Red Wings.
At the SHL premiere on Saturday 17th September, Leksand waits at home.
