Niklas Olausson came in the win2day ICE Hockey League in 20 games on 23 scorer points - including 18 assists. For the experienced attacker, the opportunity now arose to sign in the Swedish SHL with Lulea, where his family also resides.

Niklas Olausson: "I received the offer from Lulea, but felt very comfortable in Graz. To be honest, the main reason for me is the family. I really liked Graz, also the fans and the arena. Of course, I would have liked to win more games with the team. But I missed my family a lot and that was the deciding factor for me now and I hope everyone can understand this decision."
