How would you compare/contrast and ?
These leagues are more different than they are alike. They compare in that the majority of rostered players are Swedish, but they sit at two vastly different levels with the second tier of Swedish hockey, Allsvenskan, sitting in between them. The SHL is not only the top level in Sweden, but is considered a top 5 league globally. HockeyEttan is a strong third league and they can attract some impressive imports to star on their rosters, but the depth and skill from top to bottom of rosters here differs quite a bit when comparing these levels.
We have scouted and have had players in each of these leagues over the years. Our insights on these leagues comes from this.
