In 1995, HV71 and Sandagymnasiet opened the doors to a hockey high school and have been running a successful operation ever since. Well-known names such as Niklas Hjalmarsson and Jesper Fasth have completed the program, and HV71 as a club has a strong reputation for talent development. "Development and education for success" are the guiding principles at Sanda Ishockey (NIU).

If you are not accepted into NIU Ice Hockey, we also offer LIU Ice Hockey for both boys and girls (read more about LIU Ice Hockey below). 1.
