TV-pucken

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TV-pucken is a Swedish national ice hockey tournament for district teams of boys under 17 years of age.

When the tournament was first played in 1959, every game was broadcast on TV, but nowadays only the semi-finals and final game are shown. It is generally considered a great merit for a Swedish hockey player to have played in TV-pucken.
