Former Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg has offered his expertise since the beginning of his retirement from professional hockey, but this participation doesn’t mean he’s genuinely interested in working full-time in the sector that he’s great at made a career possible.
The 42-year-old Swede has achieved a lot in his career on the ice, as evidenced by his medals at Olympic Games and World Championships, his 2008 Stanley Cup win and his Conn Smythe Trophy. He also helped the Sweden Olympic team as a remote consultant during the Beijing 2022 games. However, there is no question that he will be following in the footsteps of other former Wings such as Steve Yzerman, the team’s current director.

Recently inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame, Zetterberg enjoys spending time with his family, particularly one of his boys, who plays in the town of Rögle, which gives him the opportunity to wear skates.
“I’m only here to move pucks. “I don’t have the will to work anywhere else in ice hockey in the future,” he told Aftonbladet newspaper. I’m only informally involved when speaking to Timra’s team and the Red Wings; Those are the two clubs that are close to my heart. In Timra, Kimmo Kapanen, with whom I played together for a long time, took over the sporting direction. So it’s normal to keep in touch and offer as much help as possible.
The former forward played his final season in the National League in 2017-2018, amassing 960 points in 1,082 regular-season games in his lifetime.
