Mama Mia

Eric Duhatschek at the Globe & Mail shares some random news from the SCF today, including:

Red Wings’ defenceman Niklas Kronwall has a connection to the Swedish rock group ABBA; his father, Hasse, who passed away in 1992, toured with the group briefly before meeting his mother and marrying and getting out of the music business. However, Kronwall suggested that his family’s ABBA connection was “a little overblown. At some point, he was working with them; I don’t know exactly what his position was; he was traveling with them a little.”

Still, Kronwall counts himself an ABBA fan. “All Swedes are fans of their music; obviously, we don’t listen to them as much as back in the day, but I like the music and I think the musical Mamma Mia is great.”

ABBA, Nik? All Swedes?  So cliché, but I suppose it’s better than that disaster pointed out earlier.  Still, just once I’d like to hear about a Swedish hockey star listens to something less predictable and who has no idea what an IKEA is.

Adding to the list of predictable Swedes:  Henrik Lundqvist said the first Broadway show he went to when he got to NY was Mamma Mia.
