King Henry Enters the Hall of Fame

Henrik Lundqvist also known as “The King” had an excellent career. He won the gold medal for Team Sweden in the 2006 Olympic Games, was a finalist for the Vezina trophy five times, and won it in 2012. He left a lasting legacy that his teammates remember him for. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame last night and had his number retired. To quote the New York Post, many of his teammates will always remember him as “A fierce competitor who would’ve done or endured anything and everything to win.”

The King was the goalie of the New York Rangers in the world’s most famous arena for 15 years. ESPN states that he “ranks sixth all time in wins (459), ninth in games played (887) and 17th in shutouts (64).” Even though he never won a Cup in his career, he had an amazing 15 years and definitely deserves his spot in the Hall of Fame.
