Kent Norberg

Kenth Thure "Nubben" Norberg (born June 12, 1967) is a retired Swedish professional ice hockey player and head coach.

Norberg debuted as a young player for Sollefteå HK, and during his second season in 1987 he helped the team take a surprising spot in Allsvenskan in the spring of 1988.

Timrå led by interim head coach Lars Molin avoided relegation and won Kvalserien.

Norberg signed several relatively unknown players such as Niklas Nordgren, Sanny Lindström, and goaltender Kimmo Kapanen.

The team led by new head coach Kent Johansson surprised everyone as they finished third in the regular season and reaching the semifinals in the playoff.
