    från norra ståplats till cyberspace En beskrivning av en diskussion på internet om ishockey utifrån ett offentlighetsperspektiv Anders Svensson JMG Institutionen för journalistik och masskommunikation Göteborgs universitet Akademisk avhandling för filosofie doktorsexamen Institutionen för journalistik och masskommunikation Göteborgs universitet ISSN: 1101-4652 ISBN: 978-91-88212-46-7 © Anders Svensson Omslagsbild: Jesper Svensson Original till omslag: Daniel Linder Original: Anders Svensson Tryck: Livréna Grafiska AB, Kungälv 2007 FÖRORD Det här är stunden man drömt om mer än en gång under de senaste fem-sju- nio åren. Att få sätta punkt för avhandlingsarbetet med den lilla text som någon kanske tror är det man skriver allra först: förordet. Tänk att det blev en bok till slut. Det är nästan ofattbart när man tänker tillbaks på hur vagt allt var när inte en enda rad ännu kommit på pränt. Tur att man inte förstod hur mycket arbete som då låg framför en. Har jag inte lärt mig något annat på att disputera, så har jag i alla fall insett att en sådan arbetsinsats klarar man inte av på egen hand. ”Bra karl reder sig själv” – tillåt mig småle. Förord i avhandlingar har en tendens att bli till tacktal. Det är ett bevis så gott som något på att varje avhandling är en mer eller mindre kollektiv pres- tation. Jag tänker inte heller frångå detta tillfälle att ge de personer som har del i min avhandling all den uppskattning de ska ha. Störst uppskattning förtjänar min familj. När den ena föräldern jobbar på sin karriär, så förutsätter det att den andra föräldern backar upp på sådant sätt att barnen inte blir föräldralösa och hemmet en misär.

  • MEDIA GUIDE 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship a Chance to See the Best Ice Hockey Players
    MEDIA GUIDE 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship A chance to see the best ice hockey players One misconception about the IIHF World Junior Championships is that it features “future” stars. If you look at the development of the event, you will realize that this magnificent tournament features players who are world class stars already today. The World Juniors also show, by the way, how quickly a year goes by. Let’s take you back to December 2012 and the IIHF World U20 event in Ufa, Russia. Canada’s Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who led the tournament in scoring with 15 points in 6 games is today an integral part of the Edmonton Oilers while his countrymen Jonathan Huberdeau (9 points in 6 games in Ufa) and Mark Scheifele (8 points in 6 games) are the future of the Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets respectively. USA’s All-Star defenseman and gold winner in Ufa, Jacob Trouba, is playing sensationally well for the Winnipeg while teammate Alex Galchenyuk personifies the new generation Montreal Canadiens. Last year’s dominating Finns Joel Armia and Markus Granlund have both signed NHL contracts and are biding their time in the AHL, but Swedes Filip Forsberg, Elias Lindholm and Rickard Rakell have all played NHL games this season. So think about this when you watch the 38th IIHF World Junior event in Malmö – you may most likely have one chance to see the best players. Next year they are probably celebrated professionals either in the NHL or in any of the European leagues. A good example of the natural turnover is the defending World Champion United States: from last year’s golden roster in Ufa only there are only three returnees on the 2014 team.

  • Who Will Have a Happy Holiday? Ten Teams Vie for U20 Gold in Sweden
    December 2006 Volume 10 Number 7 Published by International Ice Hockey Federation Editor-in-Chief Horst Lichtner Supervising Editor Kimmo Leinonen Editor Szymon Szemberg Design Jenny Wiedeke Who will have a happy holiday? Ten teams vie for U20 gold in Sweden There’s an old Christmas carol that says ‘it’s the most wonderful time of year’. And as we look ahead to the upcoming holiday events, I can say that I heartily agree with that sentiment. ■■ For us at the International Ice Hockey Federation, the World U20 Championship always signi- fies a new beginning. It is our first major event of the season and time when we get to join the rest of the hockey world in the thick of their seasons. It seems only appropriate that the IIHF World U20 Championship is also a beginning of sorts for so many of the participants. It was at this event that greats like Fors- berg, Jagr, Ovechkin and Crosby first made a name for themselves. ALL IS WANT FOR And I am eager to see who will follow in those great footsteps. CHRISTMAS... Is a U20 gold medal. At least that’s what the 10 During our 'off-season', (and I use that term lightly since most people in the hockey teams at this year’s upcoming cham- world know that summer seems to get shorter and shorter each year) we have been pionship are wishing for.
