He has joined Djurgården IF in the Swedish top tier: https://dif.se/nyheter/nyhetsarkiv/2019/benjamin-machini-ansluter-till-djurgarden A place that goes to Benjamin Machini - a Swedish / American 22-year-old keeper with an interesting background. Benjamin was originally born in Alaska but then moved to Sweden and has played for Djurgårdens Akademi during his youth. @TheFalseNine -- Let's move him to YAA (see post above ) & update the title to: Benjamin Machini at Djurgården IF (Sweden)
