«I couldn't be happier to be at this tournament, especially based on the year I had,» Swayman said in Sweden, via The Hockey News. «I feel like a completely new human being and a completely new goalie. The guys in this room have been so incredible for just supporting me, and it's just been a contagious locker room of joy. I just feel like a completely new human being.»
