Bantam AA - Finland - Sweden - Day 7
Our day started out with a tour of the Vasa war ship museum which was very impressive.  Sweden built a huge warship back in the 17th century and it sailed for a total of 20 minutes before it sank.  It was found and brought up from the Baltic Sea floor in 1960 and restored.  We also took a bus tour of Stockholm and saw some very interesting sites.

We played the 4th game of our tour tonight against a team called Jarna.  To be honest it was a sloppy game for us as the team hadn't recovered from a few non curfew nights prior.  We lost 4-3 in a shootout but we did take the play to Jarna throughout the game and even outshoot them 40 - 14.  

The shootout was entertaining for the fans in attendance as it went to the 12th shooter before Jarna came away with the victory.  The Jarna hockey club then held a barbeque for us were our team and there's had a chance to meet and hang out together.   The coaching staff and families of the Jarna team were very gracious hosts.
