Ice hockey

Players

Since the summer of 1992, to become a 'Stor Grabb' within Swedish ice hockey one must achieve 200 points with 100 points through games with the national team (one point per game) and another 100 points by merits.
* Olympic, World Championship and Canada/World Cup victories - 30 merit points.
* Olympic, World Championship and Canada/World Cup silvers - 20 merit points.
* Olympic, World Championship and Canada/World Cup bronze - 10 merit points.
* Game with the national team - 1 merit point.Furthermore, the player must have participated in at least four competitions of Olympic, World Championship or Canada/World Cup status.

Between 1950 and 1992 the criteria for 'Stor Grabb' was half the amount, 100 points with 50 points by merits. Merit points also included the European Championships, but had half the value of the Olympic/World championships.

Before the introduction of the points system in 1950, the first 27 'Stor Grabb' awards were decided by the SIHA from 1943 until 1949. cite book | origyear=1997 | language=Swedish | title=Svensk Ishockey 75 år | publisher=Strömbergs Brunnhages förlag AB ]
