2006–07 Frölunda HC season

(Redirected from 2006-07 Frölunda HC season)

The 2006–07 Frölunda HC season began with many rosters moves. 11 players were lost to other teams or retirement. 7 players were acquired to replace the players that were leaving, most notably Steve Kariya and Martin Cibák. Another two players, Joel Gistedt and Jonas Ahnelöv, were brought up from the juniors. The team's management was confident that they were going to finish in the top as they had done many previous seasons. It didn't take a long time to see that the team would not be the bona fide top team as they had been the previous seasons. Instead it was clear that they would be fighting for a playoff spot.
