If you are coming from North America to play hockey in Sweden, the fact that you speak English and don't know any Swedish will really not pose any sort of a problem. Most people in Sweden speak passable to good English, especially the younger generations. So most of your coach and most of your team mates will probably speak English fairly well. A lot of hockey terms are the same in Swedish as they are in English also. You might have an older coach who struggles with English but someone will make sure you understand where to be on the powerplay. So language is not a big problem. There are also a lot of American shows on TV so that'll hlep you feel more at home.
