Eriksson Steps Into Skip Role as Edin's Former Teammates Regroup Under New Banner

The core of Sweden's legendary Team Edin isn't ready to walk away just yet. Three days after Niklas Edin announced his retirement, third Oskar Eriksson has stepped up to take the reins, officially unveiling Team Eriksson alongside returning teammates Rasmus Wrana and Christoffer Sundgren, with alternate Simon Olofsson promoted to a full-time role. Eriksson arrives at the skip position with one of the richest resumes in the sport -- three Olympic medals, eight world titles, and eight European championships earned alongside Edin over more than a decade at the top of the men's game. He also proved he could lead under pressure, guiding the team to the 2022 Tour Challenge title as a skip after Edin went down with a knee injury before the semifinals, defeating Team Gushue and Team Dunstone to claim the crown. Now with a new chapter ahead and familiar teammates beside him, Eriksson enters the 2026-27 season with the experience and pedigree to remain a force on the international stage.
