Skellefteå are the reigning SHL champions. They are also the team that possesses probably the most confusing name to pronounce from an English perspective!
Khwell-EFF-tuah is the closest I can come up with from a phonetic point of view, although you will hear different pronunciations. My best advice is to be aware that it’s not pronounced how it is spelt to the English eye and watch some videos on YouTube to find a way you’re comfortable with.
