Narvik Coach Glader Steps Down

Narvik ice hockey coach Fredrik Glader has resigned from his position due to personal reasons, ending his contract early.

Narvik ice hockey club confirmed on Wednesday that Fredrik Glader is stepping down as head coach. The Swedish coach, who had a contract extending through the 2026/2027 season, cited personal reasons for his departure, stating he no longer has the energy required to perform at the level he expects of himself.

Glader, named coach of the year in the elite league last season, led Narvik to a fifth-place finish before their elimination in the NM quarterfinals by Stavanger Oilers. "Both the club and Fredrik have developed positively during this period, and we are grateful for that," said club chairman Marius Larsen, who respected Glader's decision despite wishing he would've completed his contract. milkshake.it.com
