Source-derived summary

The Swedish Ice Hockey Coach of the Year (Swedish: Årets Coach) has been awarded to the best ice hockey coach in Sweden each season since the 1991–92 season. The award was created in honor of Arne Strömberg, and Kamratföreningen Hockeyjournalisterna is the jury which votes on the award. The award has usually gone to a coach in the top-tier league (SHL/Elitserien), although the award is not specific to the top-tier league.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Coach of the Year (ice hockey)” as ice hockey award given to a coach in the Swedish Hockey League. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1991—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1992. The account is most persuasive where Coach, Year and hockey can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ice hockey award given to a coach in the Swedish Hockey League. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q271157. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
