"A dream come true"
First, he was traded from Calgary to New York Rangers. Then Tim Erixon signed for his dream club.
Skellefteċ AIK defenceman Tim Erixon has signed a three-year contract with the New York Rangers and is, of course, extremely happy.
-It is obviously very large and very unexpected. But it's a dream come true. This is one of the greatest days of my life, "says Tim.
That father Janne Erixon is an icon of the club, 556 NHL games for the Rangers during the ten seasons between 1983 and 1993 in the past, and that second cousin Oscar Lindberg was traded there this summer is obviously just bonuses.
- It's completely insane. Actually if you just choose one of the stuff. It is difficult to put words to everything. Me and Oscar have grown up and talked about the NHL all our lives. Now it's still a long way to go though. But just to be part of the New York Rangers organization is indeed a big deal.
There is an additional bonus. New York Rangers begin the NHL season in Sweden.
- It would be great if I were to take a place on the team. Then I hope that there will be many relatives and friends in the stands.
He will thus leave Skelleftea AIK.
- Well, I go over and take the chance. One wants to play in the world's best. But there is also a strange feeling, this is the only club I have played for except in Malmo for a week. So there is much that is new.
It is not clear when he goes over.
- I will go over the summer. But everything is not decided yet. It is fairly new.
