How would you compare/contrast and Allsvenskan?
The ECHL in North America and Allsvenskan in Sweden are quite comparable in terms of skill level and caliber overall. Players whether domestic or imports are expected to be talented players. Although both leagues aren't the top leagues in their country, these two countries are a few of the strongest worldwide and the hockey in each of these tiers shows it.
Our team has been scouting these leagues for a long time. We also have players that've spent time in these leagues which provides us with added knowledge on each.
