"Hurricanes fortsätter satsa amerikanskt"


This post's title is the headline of an article today in one of Sweden's newspapers. It translates into "Hurricanes continue to invest American".

I'm now officially a Swedish investment property!


I was contacted by Tomas Gustavsson, a sports writer for the newspaper NorraSkåne that services the greater Hässleholm, Sweden megalopolis. He wanted a little background information on the Hurricanes new "Amerikanskt" Head Coach from "Kalifornien".
