Sweden take the double as Falun win the Men´s Champions Cup — 06.10.2013IBF Falun has defeated Seinäjöen Peliveljet (SPV) to take the Champions Cup 2013 trophy and the 10,000 CHF winner´s cheque.
According to sources within the team, off the court, Enström is not very good at keeping track of his possessions, but luckily for his team mates, he seems to have no problems in remembering where the goal is when he is playing. His goal early in the second period extended the Falun lead to 3-1. This period then saw the teams trade goals, with SPV scoring 3 goals and Falun another 2. With the score at 5-4 to Falun at the last break we were set for a tense last period. Falun again got the best start to the period when Jonas Svahn scored on a quick counter attack to put their lead back out to 2 goals. Neither team could take advantage of powerplay situations during the period and neither team could manage to get the upper-hand in the match. SPV came back to within 1, but were never able to get back on equal terms with Falun, with them again scoring next to keep their two goal lead and the final score of 7-5. This was Falun´s first appearance in an IFF club tournament and they well deserve the title of world´s best club team. They scored the most goals (30) and were equal with SPV in having the least amount scored against them (15). So, for the second year in a row, the Swedish teams take the Men´s & Women´s Champions Cup trophies home. SPV´s Head Coach, Tommy Koponen, thought they were too slow with the ball. - Falun is the best team with the ball. We are the best team without the ball. At the end they were better. Congratulations, Mikko Kohonen commented. Thomas Brottman, Falun´s Head Coach paid respect to SPV and said how proud he was of his own team.
