Ranger Legend Gets Huge Honor Ahead Of World Junior Game
The man, the myth, the legend, King Henrik Lundqvist, was honored to get inducted into the Swedish Hockey Hall Of Fame in the arena where it all began.
At the 2001 World U20 Championship in Moscow, Lundqvist led Sweden to a fourth-place finish in the tournament.
After an upset 3�2 win over the hosting nation Russia in the quarterfinals, Sweden lost 0�1 against the Czech Republic in the semifinals, and 1�2 in overtime against Canada in the bronze medal game.
Lundqvist is the all-time leader among goaltenders, and 11th overall of all players, in games played for the Swedish national junior's ice hockey team.
A legend in every level of the game!
