from Karl Samuelson at NHL.com,
Today, every NHL team has a Swede in its lineup, but one team has eclipsed all others in the successful integration of Swedish hockey players – the Detroit Red Wings.
Five of Detroit’s top 10 scorers last season were Swedes, and this season seven of their regulars hail from the “Land of the Midnight Sun.”
So what is it about the Red Wings’ organizational culture that enables Swedish players to excel?
