Internationally, Lindh appeared for Tre Kronor in 51 games. His efforts assisted Sweden in securing two World Championship bronze medals, both in 1971 and 1975, which further cemented his status as a respected two-way player in the game. Aside from playing, Lindh pursued a career in teaching and became certified to teach sports. He became one of the driving forces behind an ice hockey secondary school in Gothenburg, where he guided and motivated prospective talents. His students included NHL prospects Daniel Alfredsson, now on the Ottawa Senators coaching staff, and Per-Johan Pebben Axelsson, both of whom had fantastic careers. Mats Lindh's legacy goes far beyond his success on the ice, as he will be remembered as a skilled player but also a respected coach. He makes a lasting impact on Swedish hockey. Lindh left us at 77 years old. Rest in peace.
