Pernilla Winberg

Pernilla Margareta Stephanie Winberg (born 24 February 1989) is a Swedish ice hockey retired forward, who currently serves as a commentator for C More and assistant coach for PWHL Boston. She scored 282 points across her 9 year SDHL career, winning two SDHL championships. She made over 300 appearances for the Swedish national team, winning a silver medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics.[1][2][3]

Career

She graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2013 and played for the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs, five-time NCAA Division I national champions.

She missed three and a half weeks of the 2018-19 season due to a concussion, returning just in time for the playoffs.[4]

In October 2019, just 7 games into the season, she suffered a severe concussion, the third in three years, forcing her to miss the rest of the 2019-20 season.[5][6] A year later, in October 2020, it was announced that she would be starting a position as an expert commentator for C More's coverage of the SDHL.[7]

In 2024, Winberg joined PWHL Boston as an assistant coach.[8]

International

She won a silver medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics. She scored the game-winning goal in the shootout against the American women in the semi-final game, where she was Sweden's youngest national player. She would later become the last remaining player from the silver-medal winning 2006 Swedish Olympic team to retire.[9]

At the 2010 Winter Olympics, Winberg recorded an impressive five goals in the tournament including four against Slovakia and one against the powerhouse USA.
