He has grown into a crowd favorite in Luleå with his energetic playing.
In Thursday’s 5-2 victory against Malmö, Isac Hedqvist also scored the first SHL goal.
Isac Hedqvist showed up with the U19 national team last week, finishing with a goal and three assists in Friday’s game against Germany.
Once back in Sweden, there was a game with Luleå in the SHL again. And yes, it probably paid off again for the talent.
In the second period against Malmö, the 19-year-old intercepted a puck near the opponent’s goal and scored his first SHL goal and 2-0 in the match.
– It was fun, it’s indescribable. At first I didn’t see that it went in, but of course you get very happy, says Isac Hedqvist to TV4 in the broadcast.
Luleå ran away
Already last season it was a goal in the A team for Isaac Hedqvist, but then in a CHL match. This season, he has since exploded with 36 points in 23 games in the J20 team and last week had to make his debut in the context of the junior national team.
– I have taken big steps this season, he says himself about the development.
Malmö reduced to 2-1 through the comeback Janne Kuokkanen before Luleå then put both the third and fourth through Jesper Sellgren and Einar Emanuelsson.
In the third period, 4-2 came first through Johan Olofsson before Brendan Shinnimin made it 5-2 in the final minutes.
