Patrik Juhlin's son Eric will join SC Bern's Elite-A

As Eliteprospects has learned at the U17 5-Nations tournament, Eric Juhlin will suit up for SCB's Elite-A next season. The 16-year-old has a Swiss player's license thanks to his father Patrik, in whose footsteps the young Swedish forward will follow. Eric Juhlin is also part of Sweden's U17 national team.

To fill his father's shoes is certainly not an easy task. Patrik Juhlin played in Bern from 1999 until 2005. In 208 games for the Bears, he put up 201 points (89 goals, 112 assists). In 2004, he celebrated the Swiss Championship with SCB.
