Henrik Lundqvist, born on March 2, 1982, in Ã…re, Sweden, is a renowned former ice hockey goaltender. Affectionately known as “The King” for his exceptional skills, he became an NHL legend during his 15-year career. Lundqvist was drafted by the New York Rangers in 2000 and went on to become their franchise player. He earned numerous accolades, including the Vezina Trophy for the league’s best goaltender. Lundqvist was known for his incredible reflexes, composure under pressure, and iconic style, which included his striking blue goalie mask. In 2014, he led the Rangers to the Stanley Cup Final, solidifying his place in hockey history and becoming a beloved figure in New York sports.

I flew over all my masks from Sweden, including my first that I bought when I was 15. That was a little while ago so the masks looked a little different. I painted it myself, but actually the way it looks now is not the look it had when I played. I repainted it after I was done using it.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI love all the different ways that New Yorkers show their individuality through what they choose to wear.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI usually have a hard time with the fit of off-the-rack suits, thanks to my athletic proportions, but somehow Burberry always fits me perfectly. There’s no tailoring really required, which is rare for me.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI don’t shop by brand loyalty at all. I’m just drawn to what I like when I shop.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI think Jennifer Lawrence seems to really get it right when she’s on the red carpet
Author: Henrik LundqvistI always want to push myself as far as possible; I always want to be up there and recognised as a good goalie and have people appreciate what you do.
Author: Henrik LundqvistIt was a tough loss. We had the lead, but things like this happen every once in a while. Of course, I’m very disappointed.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI wanted to tell him something I don’t have to tell you what I said. I said it in English. I wanted to make sure he understood.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI don’t think I’ll watch. I’ll probably just get away from hockey for a couple of days.
Author: Henrik LundqvistWe’re showing a lot of the good signs you need for a good team, so I have high hopes.
Author: Henrik LundqvistWe are all built differently. Some guys are more powerful. Some guys are very tall. I’m not very tall, so I rely on quickness.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI’ve always aligned myself with a more modern, European fit. I maintain that fit is the thing that makes or breaks an outfit. Good tailoring trumps designer and price any day.
Author: Henrik LundqvistWe played very well in the penalty killing box. Had some luck, too. After that, we got a lot of confidence.
Author: Henrik LundqvistNo special suits for game days. I like to keep all my favorites in the mix. I’m always trying to look my best, even when I’m just visiting a city for eight hours and then getting back on a plane again.
Author: Henrik LundqvistJust because they’re going to the gym, a lot of guys wear old T-shirts that look like they’ve been lying in the closet for 15 years. My workout clothes have to work.
Author: Henrik LundqvistNever say never. For the right reason, over the years I’ve been auctioning off masks for charity and it’s always for a good cause. I think you would regret it if you just sold it for money.
Author: Henrik LundqvistYou obviously never know when you have a lot of changes to a team, but the new guys have come in here and they look great. They work hard. But the league is so competitive now so it’s hard to predict.
Author: Henrik LundqvistIt felt good to get a win again because the last loss really bothers me and I think it bothers the whole team. It feels good to be back on the right track.
Author: Henrik LundqvistFor me, what takes up most of the space in my closet are suits. I wear a lot of suits and jackets. But I think every man needs a black suit at home. You can never go wrong in a black suit. But in terms of style, I think it’s about being comfortable in what you wear.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI love that about New York: You just dress the way you want to dress and feel really comfortable because nobody is judging. You can just be yourself, and it’s perfectly normal.
Author: Henrik LundqvistWe’ve been doing something every year. We had a rock concert a few years ago to benefit the Garden of Dreams. And then we had the mask event.
Author: Henrik LundqvistWhen I sit down and looked at the goals. I don’t know what I could do differently.
Author: Henrik LundqvistThe key for hipsters is that they usually try really hard, but the important thing is they want to come across like they don’t try. To make it look effortless. I don’t mind. It really fits New York, the hipster look
Author: Henrik LundqvistI love playing music, so I think the whole John Varvatos look is kind of cool. I think he has a great style.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI listen to all kinds of music. The Calling, Blink 182, Bruce Springsteen, I mean, it’s everything.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI like to play music; play guitar – I love that. Play some golf in the summer. Just relax, enjoy the summer. That’s nice.
Author: Henrik LundqvistIt’s important if you take the lead in the series. It’s good to get a confident feeling.
Author: Henrik LundqvistYou spend that money, and then what? At least now you know it’s going to a great cause. We’ll see how many masks I’ll keep in the future, but certain ones have more meaning, so I’ll hold onto them.
Author: Henrik LundqvistAs a goalie, you must stay positive. And if you do make a mistake, well, those things happen when you play my position.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI got here, my main goal was just to make the team. And after that it just raised the bar.
Author: Henrik LundqvistObviously, we all knew Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop record, you saw it all over the TV, and there wasn’t many people picking us, so it’s nice.
Author: Henrik LundqvistI’m so happy I get an opportunity to say thank you to all the amazing fans in here and around this great city.
