ThatCarGuy Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 My application to live in Sweden has been rejected meaning I have to return to the US within 3 weeks. I had no backup plan for this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we're not the meanies that we're portrayed to be. I had a job offer in Vancouver in the early 2000s. Applied to emigrate and got rejected as "unskilled labor" which I guess was pretty accurate at the time. I could get in now, for sure, but at the time they weren't wrong. I was salty though.

We have so much hockey here that it depends on which league/arena you play in. Burnaby is the "Big One". I'm in div 5 out of 22 for 19+. There's still Weekend League, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+, and Womens. https://www.ashl.ca/stats-and-schedules/ashl/burnaby-scotia-barn/#/schedule?league=15 Skateful Dead is my team.

I wasn't given a reason and do have the option to appeal but I most likely won't. I don't want to waste any more time this season. I'm in the process of finding a team to pick me up or at the very least one to practice with in Dallas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Recieved my reason today. They do not have a process to extend a tourist visa for unpayed hockey players from outside of the EU. As of today I have 2 weeks to leave Sweden or 4 if I choose to appeal my case. Time to start packing and searching for teams to play for.

Sounds like a large amount of administrative incompetency. It is but not on my team's end. There is next to no communication between Migrationsverket (Swedish Migration Agency) and the Swedish Ice Hockey Association. In my rejection letter it states that hockey is not a sufficient reason to have my tourist visa extended, meaning no player from outside the EU can play Swedish hockey without jumping through lots of hoops and wasting months possibly years of time and energy. To top it off it is incredibly difficult to contact the IIHF or Swedish Ice Hockey Association to present this issue.

coopaloop1234 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Well this is a first. A guy on a local app was looking for a goalie for tomorrow. Lower mid, 30+ div, why not, I'll play. Dude then mentions to me that spare fees is $20. Yes, he was expecting me to pay to play goalie. I don't think I've ever once had someone as me to pay to sub as a goalie. I don't even pay league fees... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were paid I would no longer be NCAA eligible. I also have a wonderful girlfriend back in Texas who had plane tickets to come and stay in Sweden for a week since she's never been out of the US but obviously that plan hasn't worked. 13 minutes ago, johncho said: Can you leave the country for a moment, and then apply back? That was the working loophole 2 years ago however they changed the rules for swedish hockey. In order to play I need a valid residency, work, or study permit Edited November 8, 2023 by ThatCarGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
