Stephanie Neatby was one of SDHL’s very best goalkeepers during the season.
Now Frölunda announces that she – together with three other players – is extending the contract.

Frölunda HC aims to challenge even higher in the SDHL next season after a strong season as a newcomer with a fourth place and semi-final appearance.

The team has already presented a couple of new acquisitions – and now a number of players are also secured for next season.

On its website, Frölunda announces that star goalkeeper Stephanie Neatby is extending her contract after being one of SDHL’s best goalkeepers this season. Backs Felicia Linder and Maja Beverin and center Jennifer Carlsson also sign new contracts with the club.

– There are four important players who mean a lot to the team both on and off the ice. We are happy that they choose to stay in Frölunda, says sports manager Kim Martin Hasson.

Fourth best save percentage in SDHL

Neatby had a 93.2 save percentage during the season which was fourth best in the SDHL. Linder was an assistant captain during the season and scored nine points in 30 games. Carlsson accounted for five points in 23 games, while Beverin was noted for 0+2 in 32 games.

Frölunda has already presented new acquisitions in the form of defenders Nathalie Lidman and Alva Johnson. The club is also rumored to sign the Finnish stars Sanni Rantala and Elisa Holopainen for next season.
