Swedish pivot stays

Swedish line player Marcus Ahlm (31) remains a "Zebra" as he extended his contract for another year until 2012 at THW.

"I’m proud to be part of this team," THW captain Ahlm said. "My family and I like it very much in Kiel, and I can develop here."

Kiel’s club director Uli Derad was happy about the extension of Ahlm’s contract: "He’s a highly important player and a decisive factor for our team."
