TV-pucken is a Swedish national ice hockey tournament for district teams of boys under 17 years of age.
When the tournament was first played in 1959, every game was broadcast on TV, but nowadays only the semi-finals and final game are shown. It is generally considered a great merit for a Swedish ice hockey player to have played in TV-pucken.
Districts participating[]
There are 24 district teams divided in four groups participating in TV-pucken. Stockholm traditionally participates with two teams, which are named Vit (white) and Röd (red). In 2009 however, only one Stockholm team will be participating in the tournament.
