Lundqvist höll känslosamt tal: ”Jag glömmer aldrig”
Henrik Lundqvist blev under en ceremoni i Toronto i natt officiellt invald i ishockeyns Hall of Fame. Efter att ha tagit emot en plakett från sin barndomshjälte Patrick Roy höll han ett tal som fick flera av hans familjemedlemmar att brista ut i gråt.
Han kallade systern Gabriella för sin största supporter, beskrev stoltheten över titlarna han vunnit med brodern Joel och tackade sina föräldrar Peter och Eva för allt stöd och alla uppoffringar.
– Min pappa sa åt mig, min bror och mina syskon: ”Dröm stort, det kommer att inspirera dig att jobba hårdare.” Jag kommer aldrig att glömma det, säger Lundqvist.

Henrik Lundqvist (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈhɛ̌nːrɪk ˈlɵ̂nːdkvɪst]; born 2 March 1982) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played his entire 15-season career with the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Before winning the Vezina Trophy in 2012, he was nominated in each of his first three seasons, and is the only goaltender in NHL history to record eleven 30-win seasons in his first twelve seasons. He holds the record for most wins by a European-born goaltender in the NHL. His dominating play during his rookie season resulted in the New York media and Rangers fans giving him the nickname "King Henrik". During the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, he led the Swedish men's team to their second Olympic gold medal.
Before joining the Rangers, Lundqvist played for Frölunda HC in Swedish Elitserien. During his years in Sweden, he developed into the league's finest goaltender, winning the Honken Trophy in three consecutive seasons (2003, 2004, and 2005). In 2005, he also won two of the most prestigious awards in Swedish ice hockey, the Guldpucken (Golden Puck) and the Guldhjälmen (Golden Helmet).
Lundqvist was considered a butterfly style goaltender, though unorthodox because of the aggressive way he performed the butterfly. He was known for his strong positional play, both mental and physical toughness, and his upright torso stance. Lundqvist was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2023.
