He was such an important piece to those cup winning teams. We loved Horny.

Just need a every player drafted before now..
I started going through every last draft pick just to see if any even played in the NHL. And came across the one that is indisputably the greatest to the game… in 1985 the Flyers drafted Paul Maurice. I know his playing career was nothing, didn't even play in the NHL, but he sure did some stuff as a coach.
”Bengan” is one of our great players we have exported.
Also NHL-star Mats Sundin grew up in Sollentuna
Alot of swedes that were picked late turned out to be a real force in NHL, atleast until 15 years ago. I think they wouldn't be such a late pick if they were playing junior hockey in NA
Horny was one of the most underrated players in his time. What an absolute beast in front of the net.
I loved him during his time in Pittsburgh.
I always loved his net front presence
