Sune

Sune is the 70-year-old coach of Beartown's ice hockey team. He is considered a mentor and father figure to generations of hockey players in Beartown, including Peter Andersson.

Despite the club president and many sponsors hoping to see him get fired, Sune is still the coach of the A-team at the end of the book and even helped develop a girls' hockey team.

Personality
Sune is described as a quite, reflective man who resists change in hockey, doesn't like promoting talented players too quickly and would rather see boys play with their hearts instead of becoming obsessed with winning.
