U20 Still Unbeaten, U18 Claims Long-Awaited First Win

It was a junior week with several encouraging signs for IK. The U20s continued their strong start by winning 4–2 away to Troja-Ljungby and 4–3 at home against Kungälv. After three rounds, the team remains unbeaten. Dante Olheden scored twice against Troja-Ljungby, while Arvid Söderkvist struck twice against Kungälv — a clear sign that the scoring does not depend on one player alone. The goaltenders also delivered. Guillaume Schoch made 33 saves in Ljungby and even recorded an assist, while Ludvig Svensson stopped 31 shots against Kungälv. The U18s secured their long-awaited first win in their eighth game of the season, cruising past Olofström 6–1 behind two goals apiece from Ketola and Anton Jenssen, with Tim Lundquist making 25 saves. The week ended on a heavier note with a 3–8 loss to Malmö. From an IK perspective, the U20s’ steady, unbeaten start is the week’s biggest reason for optimism. For the U18s, that first victory provides something tangible to build on despite the defeat that followed.
