Former Fighting Hawks goaltender Ludvig Persson has signed a one-year deal with Brynas IF in the SHL, it was announced Monday. 

A product of Goteborg, Sweden, Persson spent this past season playing for North Dakota, posting a 21-11-2 record to go along with a 2.52 GAA and a .904 SV%. Before joining the Fighting Hawks, Persson spent three seasons with Miami (Ohio).
