Ljusdal, Sweden

Dex General Björn Swartswe

Before the tournament in 1976, the organizers had received a new sponsor who also belonged to the car industry. The company Dex, which mainly manufactured spare parts for Volvo, became the main sponsor and the long-lasting name Dexcupen was born!

FINNISH VICTORY FOR THE FIRST TIME!

OLS Uleåborg, Finland was the first foreign winner of the Cup. The victory in the final game was against Västerås SK 3-2. OLS came to Ljusdal without having played a single match on a big ice. But it didn’t show. In the first match against the home team LBK, the Finns made a big impression and won 5-1. Then the team continued.
