Ice in Malå a month earlier thanks to NHL star Nils Höglander
In Malå, the public can go skating in the middle of summer — thanks to NHL pro Nils Höglander. The municipality installed ice a month earlier than usual and the bill is shared between the hockey club and the NHL star.
"It’s a way to give back," he says.
To be able to train at home during the summer, NHL pro Nils Höglander reached out to his youth club, Malå IF.
"We are very pleased that he showed interest in coming back to his roots and inspiring the younger generation," says André Önnerlöv, who is the property manager at Malå municipality, where they now hope that the earlier opening will not remain a one-off occurrence.
The price tag for the earlier opening is about 60,000 kronor, but it may end up being higher or lower depending on electricity prices.
Public skating almost all day
The agreement between the NHL star and Malå IF means that Höglander has the hall to himself in the morning. After that, it's public skating for the rest of the day.
"It’s great for the youngsters to have ice. I know myself that it’s the best thing there is when you’re young," Höglander says.

Häftigt!
60,000 kroner is about $8000 CDN for those interested. A very nice gesture from our boy, Hög!
Good guy Nils stays winning. Love this kid so much.
