In Kronoskogen, near the Swedish town of Ängelholm, a memorial was built in 1972 to honor an alleged UFO landing witnessed by entrepreneur Gösta Carlsson in May 1946. The UFO encounter supposedly inspired Carlsson to experiment with pollen as a natural remedy, which led to the founding of the herbal medicine company Cernelle. As a result of his success, Carlsson became a prominent investor in the local ice hockey club, Rögle BK, and converted a former Cernelle warehouse into an ice hockey arena.
Rögle BK then signed Ulf Sterner, Sweden's first player to make a National Hockey League roster. In the 1960s, Rögle BK won its division and was promoted to the country's highest league, Hockeyettan.
