Welcome among the men's elite: Pixbo Wallenstam IBK    (22. 7. 2010, florbal.cz)
Pixbo Wallenstam is a traditional and the most successful team in the history of Chance Czech Open so far. The famous club from Göteborg has won the summer Prague tournament five times already, plus they won silver medals three times and bronze medals two times. Last year they lost in the final battle against Dalen by one goal scored in the very last second of the game. Therefore, they will have a chance to repay their Swedish rivals for the loss this year.

However, last Pixbo's season was not very good. In the elite Swedish Superligan, the Foxes remained below the positions ensuring promotion to the play-offs and the team's fans could only cast their minds back with nostalgia to the successes in 2002 and 2003, when the legendary selection around Anders Hellgård, Niklas Jihde or Magnus Augustsson conquered the Swedish floorball throne twice.

Now there is the predatory pack led by the offensive defender Martin Östholm or the last year's best scorer of Chance Czech Open, Isaac Rosén, who will try to follow their successes. Moreover, Pixbo will show their new acquisition; the national team player Daniel Calebsson returned to the north from the Swiss team of Köniz and as his new team he chose the club with a fox in their logo.

On the other hand, the Pixbo jersey will not be worn in Prague by the Swedish national team superstar, Henrik Quist. The experienced and creative player went to play to the team of the Swiss champions, Wiler-Ersigen. But that could make this year's Chance Czech Open even more interesting. Should Pixbo meet Wiler during the tournament, it would be a rare chance for Quist in the jersey of Wiler to face his former teammates.
