Normally we don’t report on the happenings of the Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame, but we thought that the 59th entry was worth noting.
Yesterday, at the World Junior Hockey Championships prior to a game in which the host nation, Sweden routed Norway, Mats Sundin was honored as the next member. The Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame is barely three years old, but they have moved quickly to build a Hall of Fame list worth looking at.
This marks the “hat trick” for Sundin in regards to Hall of Fame institutions. Sundin was selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012, and this past May, the International Ice Hockey Hall of Fame. In the past thirty years, Sweden has emerged as a major powerhouse in International Hockey, and Sundin led his country to the Olympic Gold Medal in a win over Finland at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
We would like to congratulate Mats Sundin on his latest post career accolade.
