Henrik Lundqvist has received his Hall of Fame ring. He did so on Friday evening, Swedish time, at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
Lundqvist is the first Swedish goaltender to be elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. He will be inducted during a ceremony Monday along with Mike Vernon, Tom Barrasso, Pierre Turgeon, Caroline Ouelette, Ken Hitchcock and Pierre Lacroix (posthumously).
– It feels surreal to be here, to be honest. Growing up in Sweden during the late 1980s, it was difficult to watch the NHL. One, I was young and it was the middle of the night. But as I got older I paid more attention to the NHL and looked up to some of the very good goalies over here. As a Swede and coming over, I had my role models in Tommy Salo who played here for many years, but at home it was a big dream to come here. And standing here tonight feels extremely special, says Lundqvist.
