Amat

Amat is a 15-year-old boy who is promoted to play for the Beartown junior A hockey team due to his fast skating ability.

History
Amat's mother, Fatima works as a custodian at the ice arena and he dreams of becoming a professional hockey player to free his mother from her physically demanding job. He goes to the rink with Fatima before it opens so he can work on his skating skills and helps out the caretaker with heavier chores in exchange for extra ice time.

Amat's skating skills attract the attention of Sune, the veteran coach of the A-team and he is added to the team to help Beartown improve their chances of winning the semi-final which they do after Amat puts his speed to good use and passes the puck to Kevin, who scores the winning goal.

At the party at Kevin's house after the semi-final, Amat witnesses Kevin raping Maya. He tries to persuade Maya to tell the police about the assault and later tells the whole town what happened to her despite being intimidated by his teammates; he is later beaten up by them, but Bobo comes to his defense.

In the end, Amat ends up playing for the A-team in Beartown and teaches kids' skating lessons.

Fatima
Amat and Fatina immigrated to Sweden from an unnamed country when he was a child. Fatima works as a custodian at the arena run by the Beartown ice hockey club where she supports Amat's devotion to ice hockey.

Zacharias
Zacharias (or Zach) is one of Amat's best friends. They have known each other since they were kids. Their friendship becomes strained after Amat joins the junior team, but after the two of them reconcile, he joins the new A-team and teaches children's skating.

Lifa
Lifa is one of Amat's best friends who doesn't talk much. He quit playing hockey when he was younger because he was unable to handle the locker room banter.

Bobo
Although Bobo repeatedly checks Amat during his first practice with the junior team, he soon becomes sympathetic towards him and they become friends during Kevin's party after Beartown wins the semi-final. He even defends Amat when his teammates attack him for revealing what Kevin did to MAya.

Maya
Amat has a crush on Maya since they were kids; however, she is oblivious to it.
