Hockeytvaan- Sweden Division 2 vs EIHL- Elite Ice Hockey League

Hockeytvåan is the 4th tier of hockey in the Swedish hockey hierarchy. The EIHL is the top tier in all of the UK. The EIHL is easily the stronger of these two leagues and sits in a different category. You may often find a couple imports or veteran Hockeytvåan players on each roster who are at the same skill level as EIHL players, but the team depth is much higher from top to bottom of rosters in the UK’s top league.

With a bit smaller budgets that the top Swedish leagues for most teams, rosters naturally are composed with many local Swedish players who live in the region. Many are still quality ice hockey players with some spending time at the higher tiers. A number of Division 2 teams have a bit larger budgets and sponsors. These clubs often bring over numerous import players each season to bring added skill & experience to their club.
