What is the league, "ET"?

[Clowes Line]

So I was looking up Jesper Fasth's stats on EliteProspects.com, and I saw the league, ET.

I know it's not the Junior league, because that is listed as J18 Elit.

It isn't the Elite League, because that is listed as Elitserien.

It isn't National team.

The only thing us over at the Rangers board could think of is maybe it is the 2nd tier league, but that is HockeyAllsvenskan, I don't see how you get ET out of that...

Can you guys tell me what "ET" is?

Thanks in advance.

and its silly that eliteprospects are listing stats for one preseason tourney of their arbitrary choice. its utterly obvious that the ppl of eliteprospects are sharing the moronic swedish dream of a pan-european league. ET is driven by a few swedes who havent yet realised that there's little interest for a future european league in other countries.

Swedes dont care much for ET either, as seen by the crowd numbers.

Bitter much?

Considering that the tournament is very new, the marketing is non-existant and that some teams play the games in dirt small towns, the attendances have been quite reasonable.

I for one think it's a good thing and it brings competitiveness to the pre-season, which is just boring and uninteresting otherwise.
