Sparta fans travelled a long way to Gothenburg, and the club made sure they were well-stocked for their journey . . .

IFK Helsinki's Kamraatit Fan Club won the CHL's Best Fan Ambassador contest, and won three tickets to the Final. Janne Turunen was glad to get one of the tickets.

A big hockey game deserves its own specially designed puck. We're sure Niklas Lasu has one of these in his trophy case now. Who else is lucky enough to have one?

And in Brazil too.
Great scenes when Frölunda's fans give a huge applause to Sparta's players, and the players clap back! #chlfinal

Of course, both teams had great support inside the arena.

And it's not difficult to guess who former Frolunda player Anton Axelsson wanted to win.
The final game of the @championshockey season is an insane one....back and forth scoring between Frolunda and Sparta.

The excitement of the CHL Final was even felt overseas.

Some investigative rinkside reporting into the problem with the Swiss linesman's visor.
Je vois mal comment Frolunda peut perdre à 3 contre 3 #CHLFinal

A bit of foreshadowing from France.

Some were fortunate enough to have front-row seats for it all.

He played for SC Bern this year, but last year's CHL MVP was watching.

Frolunda thanked Frolundaborg, and surely Frolundaborg thanked Frolunda as well.
Beautiful shine of silver medal from #CHLFinal. Great success for #hcsparta and also for Czech hockey. @telh_cz @championshockey #medal pic.twitter.com/rQAzmP7kpl

They wanted gold, but Sparta is proud of silver nonetheless.
This whole #CHLFinal game was hockey at its finest! Congrats #Frolunda. #SHL keeps bragging rights. https://t.co/0Eme9gziLi

OHL announcer Reed Duthie watches a lot of hockey, so his claim is saying something.
Gratulace @HCSpartaPraha , skvělý úspěch a také reklama pro český hokej #CHLFinal

Not only a great advertisement for Czech hockey, but for all hockey.
