Wickenheiser: "This is a great challenge"

According to Aftonbladet, Hayley Wickenheiser has set her sights on the highest men's league in Sweden. "All the best female hockey players are in Sweden," Wickenheiser said. "Playing in the Allsvenskan would be a great challenge few can accomplish." She has had offers to play in Finland, but she wants to test herself in the Swedish leagues. AIK, Almtuna and Sundsvall has already said "no thanks" to Wickenheiser's services, but IF Björklöven has not made a decision. Many teams in the second-tier Allsvenskan are worried she cannot cope with the physical hockey in the Swedish league. Source
