Getting to know your Maulers
Player #3 Sebastian Gronborg
Welcome back to another blog of Meet your Maulers! The next player we have is goaltender #1 Sebastian Gronborg. He is 5 ft 9 in, 165 lbs, and is from Nykoping, Sweden. I am very happy and excited that Sebastian is going to play in Missoula this year because he is an incredibly talented tendy. I have previously written about him and that is all for good reason. His butterflies are amazing, Sebastian has great glove catches, and is very attentive to everything out on the ice. He has great style and form in the net as well. Sebastian and I have been talking for some time ever since he arrived in the USA and getting to know him has been great! It was a pleasure to have an interview with him and I think that this major Rangers fan will be one of the highlights of the 2013-2014 season. As I said before the Maulers have their own personal Henrik Lundqvist. This blog has a reputation for working with Swedish players and Sebastian is definitely one of the next ones to be featured on here! Without further ado here is the interview!
1. What are you most looking forward to with the Maulers this season?
SG: To play for the fans
2. What do you expect to bring to the team this year?
SG: Bring much routine to the team because I am old and to help out the younger boys
3. What age did you start playing?
SG: When I was 5 or 6 years old
4. Other than hockey what are your hobbies/things you like to do outside the rink?
SG: Play golf, be with friends, and workout

9. Goon, Slapshot, or Miracle?
SG: Miracle
10. If you had to compare yourself to any NHL player past or present who would it be?
SG: Some people tell me I look like Henrik Lundqvist sometimes but I try to mix it up, look at everybody, and do some stuff they do
11. Do you have pregame songs or rituals?
SG: I always warm up at the same time and the same warm up and always start with the right first

16. What is your worst locker room experience?
SG: Haha, everything stays in the locker room, nothing outside
17. Who is the team's player that best embodies the junior lifestyle?
SG: Maybe Corey Schafer or Connor McNally
18. If you had to be stranded on a desert island with someone, who would it be?
SG: I think Jennifer Lopez
19. What is the biggest difference between Swedish and North American hockey for you?
SG: It is faster here because there is more rink, more hits, and more shots
20. What do you miss about home?
SG: Swedish Meatballs
21. Is there any language barrier between you guys on the ice?
