Alexander Steen has been appointed as Player Personnel Consultant for Team Sweden’s management staff ahead of the 2026 Olympic Games in Italy. The announcement was made by Anders Lundberg, Director of National Teams, and Sam Hallam, Head Coach.
Steen will support scouting and roster selection efforts as part of his new responsibilities. He is currently the special assistant to general manager Doug Armstrong with the St. Louis Blues.
“It means a lot to bring in Alexander Steen to our management staff. Not only does he have immense hockey expertise but also a burning passion for Swedish ice hockey. His work will be important for Sam Hallam’s selection of the Olympic roster and we are very grateful to the St. Louis Blues’ management for helping us find this solution,” said Lundberg.
Hallam emphasized Steen’s role from North America: “Our work with the Olympic roster began some time ago and will intensify as we get closer to roster announcement. Having Alex based in North America, in his role with the St. Louis Blues organization, is valuable to us. He follows our Swedish NHL players daily. He also knows what it means to play in the Olympics, a perspective that is obviously important.”
Steen commented on his appointment: “I’m honored to have this opportunity. Representing Sweden is a privilege that I hold in the highest regard and I’m looking forward to working closely with the members of our federation, our coaching staff, and our great players as we prepare for the 2026 Olympic Games.”
Steen will not travel with Tre Kronor men’s team to Milan for the Olympics but will continue supporting from afar.
The Swedish men’s national team roster for the Olympics is scheduled for announcement by Hallam in mid-January 2026.
The Tre Kronor coaching staff includes Anders Sörensen from the Chicago Blackhawks as an assistant coach, Myles Fee from the Florida Panthers as video coach, Anthon Hansson from Brynäs IF continuing as goalie coach, Stefan Klockare remaining assistant head coach, and Josef Boumedienne serving as general manager.
