Swedish athletes abroad

Ever since Gunnar Nordahl moved from IFK Norrköping to AC Milan in 1949, athletes have been one of Sweden’s exports, albeit maybe not the biggest one. The biggest group of exported athletes are probably ice hockey players, where a long list can be made, containing names such as Peter Forsberg, Mats Sundin and the Sedin twins.

Among Swedish hockey players, the thing they miss the most is the Swedish snus, a form of moist snuff that is placed under the lip. For the first hockey players who moved abroad, it was hard to find, but nowadays, they can buy it online on the site http://www.snusdirect.com/. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Swedish players perform better for each year. It is possible to find American-made snus, sometimes called dipping tobacco, but it is not quite the same thing as the Swedish snus. A t least that is what most Swedes would say…
