Koopmann fires into life this coming Saturday (1 February) with the Qualifying Round staged at Örnsköldsvik in Sweden where the majority of the field that will contest this year’s two Finals will be decided This will be the seventh time in eight years that the Swedish municipality’s Kallehov circuit has hosted a Qualifying Round and most competitors should be familiar with the venue located on the country’s icy east coast overlooking the Gulf of Bothnia five-hundred-and-thirty kilometres north of capital city Stockholm While a question mark remains over the participation in the Finals of Svensson who at the age of sixty-five won last year’s championship finale in Heerenveen before announcing his retirement his son Niclas Svensson will be lining up at Örnsköldsvik alongside sixteen fellow hopefuls representing eight nations Svensson will not be the only rider with a famous father in action in Sweden German-born Luca Bauer – who races for Italy – is following in the illustrious footsteps of his father, Günther who is an undisputed Ice Speedway legend and widely regarded as one of Germany’s finest-ever competitors in this highly-specialised discipline Both riders face stiff opposition from a field that combines youthful enthusiasm with hard-earned experience and there are a number of riders who will be in action on Saturday who either competed in last season’s FIM Ice Speedway World Championship or attempted to make the cut in Örnsköldsvik in 2024 who won a dramatic run-off with Huusko to top last season’s Qualifying Round assured of a place in the Finals after finishing the 2024 series in second, Maximilian Niedermaier will represent his famous family in Örnsköldsvik He scored a point at last season’s concluding Final at Heerenveen but with eight others of Saturday’s competitors also finishing 2024 with FIM Ice Speedway World Championship points the German faces a fierce fight Included among these racers are Finland’s Max Koivula who was seventh last year with a season-best finish of fifth Sweden’s Jimmy Hörnell Lidfalk who was tenth and Dutch all-rounder Jasper Iwema – an accomplished road racer who in the past has contested the FIM Moto2™ Moto3™ and MotoE™ Grand Prix series – who finished 2024 in twelfth All three progressed to the 2024 Finals via the Qualifying Round and will be hoping for repeat performances though this is only the first step the entire field must negotiate just to earn the right to line up against Haarahiltunen who is aiming to win his fourth consecutive title in 2025 Peab has been commissioned to build new test facilities and offices in Örnsköldsvik The customer is BAE Systems Hägglunds and the contract is worth SEK 280 million BAE Systems Hägglunds is a global player in the defense industry The company's local connection goes back over 100 years and today it is one of the largest employers in the municipality The company's operations are developing and expanding to meet an increasing level of orders "It feels really good that we have been entrusted with building the new premises needed to meetf the higher demand that BAE Systems Hägglunds is experiencing We have solid expertise in industrial construction and security-classified construction projects," says Anders Gard The contract includes options for call-offs for another SEK 330 million in addition to the contract amount of SEK 280 million This construction contract was preceded by a so-called phase 1 contract whereby Peab is contracted to work with the customer to map out an optimized project with the right quality and to manage risks and uncertainties which entails signing a construction contract The project is a turnkey contract in partnership Construction will start in the spring of 2025 and is expected to be completed in the autumn of 2026 The project will be order registered in the first quarter 2025 Peab is the Nordic Community Builder with 13,000 employees and net sales of SEK 59 billion With a local

is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm ÖRNSKÖLDSVIK, Sweden — When I told Victor Hedman’s father I was coming to his town I came to explore Örnsköldsvik (pronounced ORN-SHOUL-SVEEK) the mill town of 30,000 on Sweden’s northeastern coast It hugs the banks of the Baltic Sea’s Gulf of Bothnia and is just a five-hour drive from Stockholm The 125-year-old city is a story of contrasts Smokestacks and cranes hover near the modest skyline which includes a ski jump and the jumbo red waterslides at Paradiset a waterpark wonderland that features a spa with the most famous landmark restaurant a family-owned Italian place called “Mamma Mia’s.” The pizzeria doubles as hockey museum “Ovik,” as Swedes call it, is known for producing two things: paper and star hockey players. There are more Art Ross Trophy winners coming out of this city than any other in the world, with Peter Forsberg and Canucks twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin along with the likes of Markus Naslund and Lightning Norris Trophy winner Victor Hedman began their careers on the half-dozen public rinks and countless other open-air surfaces here That it’s a small town and there’s not much else to do “That’s the rumor,” Daniel Sedin said There are a few options for getting to Ovik from Stockholm, the site of the two NHL Global Series games last month between the Lightning and Sabres You can also take a train or a quick flight An electrical issue shut down Ovik’s airport so we got diverted to a nearby town called Umea 15-minute walk and an hour train ride later it took me just a minute to breeze through and zip down the one-story escalator. Olle was there waiting for me wide smile and wearing a blue jacket and jeans It was a gray Volvo V90 with a Lightning logo on the window of each side of the back seat Olle took the wheel and the sound of classic American rock — Boston’s “More than a Feeling” — filled the interior I’d later find out Olle’s phone’s ringtone is AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck.” His family moved there when he was a teenager He played hockey a bit — “I wasn’t any good,” he said — but he eventually landed a job where pretty much everyone else did: at the Modo paper mill Olle retired this past July after 45 years at the mill You ask many locals about Ovik and what they mention first is the pungent citric aroma coming from the large smokestacks that rise from the subtle “It’s the smell of money,” said Jonatan Lindquist a Swedish journalist and one of Victor Hedman’s childhood friends The blue-collar workers would leave the factory and pile into the local arena taking out their anger at their bosses with soccer-like chants for their home team would be packed to the brim of its 5,000 capacity They watched their heroes like Anders Hedberg the first player from Ovik to make the NHL in the 1970s how hard they worked and what they did on the ice.” “You got to watch the best players in Sweden up close You want to start a conversation in Ovik but don’t know the person? Just say “Modo” and you’ve got a fast friend. Naslund, the former Modo and Vancouver Canucks star said it’s the first thing you bring up in business meetings but he also served as the equipment manager for Modo for a quarter-century He’d pack yogurt and sandwiches for Victor and older brothers Johan and Oscar and they’d spend their afterschool hours playing hockey There are six rinks in town and multiple family-made sheets around various neighborhoods. There was a hockey academy where select players (ages 16-19) practiced before school took a hockey theory class and then practiced again in the afternoon Hockey has always been the big show in this town unlike some Canadian and American towns where kids jumped from one travel team to another there were no “tryouts.” Hockey was about community “You played all the time. Before school The rink Hedman played on was 500 meters from his house Olle pointed it out before pulling into his driveway where the headlights illuminated a welcome sign There’s a hockey goal set up just past the porch of the green we met Victor’s nephews — Oscar’s boys — Oliver his arm in a cast thanks to jumping off a playground swing Each room features photos of the three sons where Truls is on the hardwood floor with his toys and Legos Oscar and Johan as youngsters line the top of one cabinet We walked upstairs and past a trophy case that held pucks medals and other mementos including a watch given to one of the best players on the world junior team in Sweden that year There’s Victor’s world championship gold medal acquired in a trade for one of Hedman’s sticks On the wall is a framed and signed polo shirt of the “IceBreakers,” a Modo All-Star team formed for charity that featured Forsberg The “Gold Puck,” given annually to the best player in Sweden (Hedman won it in 2014-15 after the Lightning’s run to the Cup final) Another end table held a scrapbook Hedman’s wife The wedding album for the high school sweethearts The couple got married in July 2017 in the town’s biggest church Elisabeth and Oscar sat on the couch and shared their favorite Victor stories which flared when a call went against his team when he was 5 or 6 years old they played hockey like it was life or death,’” said Per Hagglund an Ovik native and long-time journalist for Örnsköldsviks Allehanda who has covered Modo’s pro team for 30 years The NHL highlights were few and far between so the main reference point young Ovik players had for hockey stars was a few miles from their homes Naslund and Forsberg were born 10 days apart They would go on to set the standard for hockey players growing up in Ovik becoming two of the best players in the NHL by the 2002-03 season; Forsberg won the Hart Trophy and Art Ross with Naslund taking home the Lester Pearson Award (now called Ted Lindsay Award) as the players’ choice for most outstanding player The Hedmans recalled how Naslund and Forsberg trained in Ovik during the summer months “There have always been guys playing in the NHL from around here recently competing in his 900th pro game (600 for Modo) the club (founded in 1921) was in Sweden’s highest pro league but it has since fallen to the second tier a big blow to the town’s pride and the team’s finances the 7,000-seat arena is one-third or half full though Modo’s recent 12-game winning streak has led to some optimism Oscar was proud there would be a full house for a mid-November showdown with Umea It was Modo’s first sellout in several years was a teenager at the time playing for Modo’s youth teams and was watching at a cousin’s house as the family celebrated with champagne “It gave you something to shoot for,” Olofsson said There were 30 bottles of Dom Perignon waiting for them one of the many former stars watching from afar Oscar, who was drafted in the fifth round by the Washington Capitals in 2004 had watched his favorite local stars play when he was a kid Now he was one of them — and a champion to boot The Hedman’s basement is a shrine to their children There are photos of the three boys together on the walls as you walk down the steps dubbed “Lightning Blvd.,” in their old jerseys There are milk cartons with Victor on the back On one wall, there’s the backdrop from the 2009 NHL Draft where Hedman first addressed the media. To the left of that, there’s a framed Sports Illustrated cover of Islanders legend Mike Bossy With the Islanders picking first in the draft There are four newspaper front pages in Swedish “Hedman wrote dream contract — ‘This is fantastic.’” On the opposite wall is a fake movie poster playing off the “Lord of the Rings.” It’s “Lord of the Rinks” and the heads of Forsberg the Sedins and others take the place of the movie characters Hedman recalled a bus ride while in juniors when the entire team was silent as they listened to the 2006 Olympic gold medal game on the radio They cheered on Ovik’s hometown heroes: Forsberg the Sedin twins and Naslund (who was injured) Then the announcer on the radio got louder “Gör en otrolig räddning med klubban!!!!!!”  “(Henrik) Lundqvist … makes an incredible save with his club!” “It’s one of those memories that’s going to stay with you your whole life,” Hedman said I’m on the bench and (Lundqvist) is making another save — for us to win the World Championship.” Hedman’s photo is on the Wall of Fame at Modo’s new arena It’s a beautiful building that opened in 2007 and sits on the shore of the Gulf of Bothnia You can see the smokestacks of the paper mill across the bay But its presence is still a sore spot for locals and former players The old Kempehallen was torn down a decade ago It was where the local players made history but the adjacent practice rink is still there The Hedman kids spent countless hours there both on the neighboring soccer fields and on this sheet of ice Melinder was in charge of the town’s hockey school working closely with Modo’s junior program The coach/advisor/mentor once visited a Soviet hockey camp The fact Melinder’s reign spanned decades allowed him to coach different generations from Forsberg and Naslund to the Sedins and Hedman “Melinder was a big part of it — he was groundbreaking,” Naslund said He was one of the first ones in Sweden that really pushed for attention to detail and doing things at high speed you had to behave the right way around town This city is really proud of their hockey team But this has been this city’s identity for generations That’s why it’s frustrating to Naslund and other legends that the club has fallen on tough times Ever since the team was relegated to the second division a few years back from the team’s struggling play to changes in management and players after decades of continuity (even Melinder has retired and lives outside of town) Where once Ovik had one of just three hockey schools with national status in warmer and more heavily populated towns nearer to Stockholm “Not everyone wants to be where it’s dark and cold,” Naslund said Players have more options to make the jump to the NHL whether it’s playing in juniors in North America or going to college who played two years for Frolunda HC. Modo sold the paper mill to another international company and I think a lot of people haven’t been to the rink since that day,” said Adam Johansson an Ovik native and journalist for the local paper Allehanda “You have to build this success over years to get the crowd back to the arena he’ll be a Norris winner,”  Hagglund said He’ll be the next Modo player you’ll write and talk about.” But if Modo can’t reclaim its spot in the top Swedish league this season Hagglund predicts “a lot of problems.” He believes young players of Norlinder’s ilk will leave for better opportunities “This is the season to go to the top league or you’ll have to start at the bottom again,” Hagglund said he donated $50,000 to build a couple of outdoor rinks in Ovik one of which is next door to the old practice facility near his home Hedman has run a hockey school in Ovik where kids can pay the equivalent of just $200 U.S for a week of instruction and interaction with pros A few of the kids from those camps have gone on to play for Modo Ovik’s former stars don’t just give back, they come back. Several of the players, including Hedman and the Sedins, have built summer homes along the “Gold Coast,” a waterfront street that gets the name because its most high-profile residents have won gold medals at either world championships or the Olympics Forsberg is part owner of Ovik’s main hotel Naslund has been part of a group investing in the neighboring waterfront apartments but it’s not a big deal — nobody bothers you,” Daniel Sedin said “It’s a nice quiet town to live in after you’re done.” Naslund and former NHL defenseman (and current Modo captain) Tobias Enstrom have homes on the other side of the bay along the coast “There’s some trash talk on which side has a better view,” Naslund said Hagglund gave me a tour of Fjallraven Arena and its wall of fame where dozens of Modo and NHL jerseys hang in frames from the wall a stick tap to the tradition sparked by Forsberg with Naslund fondly recalling how the owner gave them free meals after wins “It was like a little carrot,” Naslund said Naslund and Forsberg did a commercial for the restaurant pretending they were working in the kitchen The problem today is that young kids don’t play sports at all — there’s a lot of TV and esports But hockey culture has always been big in Ovik The next generation wants to be the Sedin twins or Hedman Before I left for the Ovik airport, Olle took me for one last drive. We went by the old hockey arena, drove along the Gold Coast to check out Victor’s renovated, two-story, waterfront home. We went to the track where Victor trains every summer with former Penguins defenseman (and Modo standout) Hans Johnsson part of the Naslund and Forsberg birth class of 1973 “The man behind Victor’s renaissance,” Olle says who met nearly 40 years ago on New Year’s Eve at an Ovik hotel bar recently celebrated their 37th anniversary Their three sons bought them a Caribbean cruise as a present “You never know what would have happened (with Victor) if I hadn’t moved here,” Olle said “Everyone comes here to discover ‘the secret.’” When I returned to Stockholm to cover the two Lightning games there Hedman played a starring role in his storybook homecoming He had an assist in a win over Buffalo on Friday night then notched a power-play goal on a one-timer in Saturday’s sweep-clinching victory The sellout crowd at Ericsson Globe chanted his name as he left the ice I asked Hedman if the fact that Modo (and his brother Oscar) had won that night He nodded: “The entire Hedman family is happy.” When Hedman walked off the podium and toward the dressing room I thanked him for helping make my trip to his hometown such a success Joe Smith can be reached at jsmith@theathletic.com This is not just any game. He’s playing an NHL game in his home country. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to come back home and play with the team that I’ve been a part of for more than 10 years,” Hedman said before arriving in Stockholm. “It’s going to be an emotional couple of days.” He never thought he’d be able to do something like this when he left Sweden as an 18-year-old to go play in the NHL. Hedman called this a dream come true, but it’s one of those dreams you don’t know you have until it comes true. As a child, Hedman looked up to many NHL players and there are even more Swedes in the NHL than there were 15 years ago. Sweden has steadily narrowed the gap with Canada for most NHL players per capita. And Hedman ranks as one of the biggest Swedish stars in the league right now. Not only does he hail from a hockey country, but also one of the biggest hockey cities in Sweden. Örnsköldsvik, might have sent the most stars to the NHL per capita. It’s at least in the conversation. “It’s super special,” Hedman said of Örnsköldsvik’s legacy. “I think we have only 65,000 people in our community and we have all those players. The Sedin twins (Daniel and Henrik), (Peter) Forsberg, (Markus) Näslund, hall of famers, so that’s super special for me. I was lucky.” The three of them account for about 100 fans making the 350 mile trip to Stockholm and that’s just the fans they know about. “It’s an honor representing O-vik, for sure,” Olofsson said. “It’s cool being here with Hedman as well. We worked out together a lot. I’ve gotten to know him really well so it’s going to be special to play against him.” Hockey fandom in Örnsköldsvik has followed its players. Colorado was very popular for Forsberg, arguably the greatest Swedish hockey player. When the Daniel and Henrik Sedin and Markus Näslund all played for Vancouver, the Canucks led the city. Now, most of Örnsköldsvik line up behind the Lightning. O-vik’s NHL history goes back to Anders Hedburg, who signed with Winnipeg of the WHA in 1974 and then the Rangers in 1978. But it was the 1973 birth year that really broke through. Subscribe to our free Sports Today newsletter You’re all signed up!Want more of our free, weekly newsletters in your inbox?

the way in high-tech manufacturing solutions has received an operating licence for remote tower services from the Swedish Transport Agency This will make Örnsköldsvik Airport the first airport in the world to have remote air traffic control services “Remotely controlled towers are a world-first that is the result of close cooperation between LFV the airports in Örnsköldsvik and Sundsvall and Saab and the engagement of a whole region The issuing of the operating licence means that we have passed a quite crucial milestone on the path to commissioning The objective is to go live during the first quarter of 2015 I want to thank everyone who has helped to make remotely controlled towers a reality through their knowledge ideas and commitment,” says LFV’s Director General Olle Sundin Something that began as an idea and a vision of a paradigm shift in air traffic control almost ten years ago has now been realised through close cooperation between LFV and Saab LFV worked out and developed the operational concepts and Saab developed the technical solutions “With remotely controlled towers we are creating completely new opportunities for the whole of the aviation industry We are retaining the high safety level and airports using the system will be able to reduce their operating costs and avoid expensive investments that would otherwise be necessary,” says Mr Sundin Since 2012 remotely controlled towers have been in place in Sundsvall which has a control centre for remote air traffic control services Örnsköldsvik Airport has been a very successful pilot airport high quality and development have been important watchwords “The use of remotely controlled towers increases accessibility for air travel at the same time as we are raising the efficiency and safety of the air traffic control service,” says Mr Sundin The national approval given by the Swedish Transport Agency can also be accepted internationally so as to avoid time-consuming validation processes in each country where remotely controlled tower services are put in place “The Swedish Transport Agency has followed the whole process and the development work with great engagement This has been quite crucial for the safety case,” says Mr Sundin Remote tower services – how they work Remotely controlled cameras and sensors are positioned at the airport and everything they register is linked in real time to the air traffic control centre and projected on a 360o view Air traffic control takes place via the air traffic control centre where air traffic controllers control and manage the traffic This is a completely new and path-breaking service for the industry Remotely controlled towers give LFV the possibility of delivering services safely while reducing costs to customers.  LFV has gained a great deal of experience from this cooperation with the industry but also from its close interaction with the Swedish Transport Agency As a result the development of the service has moved from idea to reality in record time The technology is now ready for use for live operations at Sundsvall where the air traffic control centre is located This will make Örnsköldsvik the first airport in the world to have remote air traffic control LFV continues to work with various partners in the European SESAR programme to further enhance and refine the concept Images of remotely controlled towers can be downloaded from lfv.se/en/Press There is also a link to a film about remote air towers For more information contact LFV's press service on tel LFV is a state enterprise that is responsible for air

Because f*ck hotels: Maria will let five people stay in her house for 89 euros a night 3. Museums? We don’t need no stinking museums. This map of Örnsköldsvik attractions features a water park It’s also the birthplace of several famous hockey players like Markus Nasland… 6. Because Eurovision 2015 winner Måns Zelmerlöw has endorsed Örnsköldsvik as the host city, according to the city’s Eurovision ambassador Peter Forsberg 7. Because it’s home to Ting 1, a controversial apartment building that looks like a game of Jenga gone wrong Because it hosted the first semi final of Melodifestivalen 2010 who almost beat Anna Bergendahl in the final 9. Because the Fjällräven Center welcomes ladies who lunch…while watching hockey A recent lunch menu included fish with tarragon and jelly pancakes with bacon and lingonberries Because the Fjällräven Center is home to Örnsköldsvik’s MODO hockey team and maybe they’ll linger around the locker room during Eurovision So should SVT showcase a new part of Sweden William Lee Adams is the founder and editor-in-chief of wiwibloggs.

Maybe I can specify and say it’s in British English, as heard here: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/british/bird Though that pronounciation can probably differ a lot too “The letter “i” in “bird” is pronounced the same way as “ö”.” Unfortunately that’s not very helpful since the “i” in “bird” is pronounced differently depending on where you’re from anywhere from an “uh” to an “er” I am all for mixing it up and having a new city host And I really do hope that hockey team sticks around for the party… Every Eurofan should be upset as a bottle of water costs three euros in Sweden I still hate juries took us back to the Cold North because it will give Eurofans one more reason to slam Sweden and complain that it should have been in Rome You spell Örnsköldsvik correctly but you struggle with should Ahh we’re still in love with you anyways <3 Out of the potential venues it’s the smallest one And all of us know: small venue means small number of participating countries For example: Belgrade Arena (2008) – 25 000 – 43 countries Olimpiyskiy (2009) – 25 000 – 42 countries Esprit Arena (2011) – 66 500 – 43 countries Baku Crystal Hall (2012) – 25 000 – 42 countries Malmö Arena (2013) – 15 500 – 39 countries B&W Hallerne (2014) – 10 000 – 37 countries Wiener Stadthalle (2015) – 16 152 – 39 countries (if we count only the EBU members) So… Read more » Wiwibloggs convinced me more on the Scandinavium Yet I still put the Tele2 arena as my favourite Italy has 10,000 places more known than this i was going to say no but these pictures of hot men convinved me It’s cool when new cities are given a chance to host ESC The pictures of those hotties are irrelevant I’m sure we can find blond hunks in Stockholm and Gothemburg too if you said the entire local hockey team was willing to do an interval act half naked everyone can see i am the real and GreAtY Mario Vision of Gay Love <3 The letter “i” in “bird” is pronounced the same way as “ö” Ö-vik is an abreviation for the city commonly used the “Ö” letter is kinda hard to pronounce and practice 😀 I guess the closest english thing to the Ö is “eh” Ok number 2 convinced me örnsköldsvik 2016 it is @ Well you can really try but you can’t fool me.

Moldova should just send SunStroke Project every year There are rumors that SunStroke Project will represent Russia featuring Julia Samoylova Probably just a rumor but I’m surely curious how that would work As much as I like ballads and downbeat songs I could watch the bear dance for an eternity DoReDoS would be my third pick for the win in Moldova (after Sandy C & Aaron Sibley but they probably have a best show in live although I’m not calling any of the selections today (I know who I WANT to win each one Input your search keywords and press Enter.

inspired by the success story of Petter Hörnfeldt Share with me in the comment section below Please do subscribe to Youth Motivator YouTube channel and enjoy the success stories of your favourite YouTubers I just knew that he flew for Ryanair ever since he mentioned that his airline has fitted staircases into the aircraft (btw I know that there must be several other operators which have also) The fact that he flew on the 737 supported that By the way can you please tell the source from where you got to know that he is a Ryanair pilot as no other website on the World Wide Web (at least one that I could find) reveals which airline he flys for practical person and explains things in a way people can understand Since I come across Mentour Pilot i can’t stop watching them .I really like the way Petter explains everything Petter is very knowledgeable about flying and he isn’t too hard on the eyes either!!
