Take a look at a photo from early days in Sweden, 1904



That league has been going for 100 years.
What I have discovered in doing research within the last year on the European leagues outside of Holland and Italy is the depth and news is few and far between. Germany, France, Czech Republic, and Spain have all of the information and statistical history to find dating back a few years (Germany from 1994, France sometime in the 90s, Czech dates back to the league inception in 1995, Spain back to 2010), where as some of the countries I'd like to do a deep dive into (Belgium, Austria, and yes Sweden) don't have as much or so I'm not looking hard enough to me. I can get the Belgian and Austrian statsheets with no problem, Sweden is hit-and-miss. It's the rosters that are the most difficult. Compiling the info for the players (DOB, Height, Weight, handedness---BIG ONE, and position) and active/inactive is the big thing there.
