Carl Hagelin

Carl Hagelin, a native of Sweden, began his North American career at the University of Michigan, where he became the first Swede to don the Wolverines jersey. In 2007, the New York Rangers drafted him in the sixth round. Hagelin made his NHL debut in 2011 on Broadway. His rookie season was a testament to his talent and character, as he scored 28 points while displaying exceptional two-way hockey skills.

Although not recognized as a high scorer, Hagelin was a dependable defensive forward who received Selke votes in three different seasons. Despite never reaching 40 points in a season, he recorded at least 30 points five times. Hagelin's most remarkable NHL career achievement occurred while playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, where Hagelin played a crucial role in winning back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. He also played for the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, and Washington Capitals. Hagelin has a silver medal from the 2014 Olympics, representing Sweden, to his name.
