In an interview with Swedish paper Expressen, via, Henrik Lundqvist revealed that he was in the running to have a statue of himself constructed outside of the arena where the Frolunda Indians play.

Lundqvist is the runaway leader right now.

On the Frolunda website, they said the reason was “Want to see Frölunda pride carved in stone above the Scandinavium? Now it may come true! Among Göteborg more than a thousand statues are a few sports-related. But the statue of Gothenburg greatest hockey player conspicuous by their absence. We want to change that!”

Lundqvist said that he would vote for Niklas Andersson and said that he did many good things for Frolunda over the years.

Andersson played for Frolunda from 2001 to 2011 and was a teammate of Lundqvist’s on the two championships that Frolunda won.

In an interview with Swedish paper Expressen, via, Henrik Lundqvist said that for the first time since he was seven years old he isn’t playing hockey in November.

Lundqvist said that he feels “lost and weird mentally” not playing hockey.

“I get very hungry, not just to jump in and play with Frölunda but to play hockey at all.” Lundqvist added that he feels the adrenaline pumping through his body when he watches Frolunda play and he wants to jump on the ice and play.

He said that nothing can replace that feeling of adrenaline that hockey brings him.
