Leader of the Year (ice hockey)
The Swedish Ice Hockey Leader of the Year (Swedish: Årets Ledare) is an annual award given to the best ice hockey leader in Sweden each season. The award was first given in the 1991–92 season, and Kamratföreningen Hockeyjournalisterna is the jury which votes on the award. Swedish businessman Percy Nilsson gives out the award since 2006.[1] Two people have won the award twice: Jan Simons in 1996–97 and 2003–04 as President of Mora IK, and Lars Johansson in 2009–10 and 2012–13 as general manager of Skellefteå AIK.[2][3]
