Playing career

Modo Hockey

Hedman with Modo Hockey in September 2008

Hedman began his junior ice hockey career in the Swedish J20 SuperElit with the Modo Hockey organization. He recorded 25 points in 34 games during his first full season in the league in 2006–07. Hedman then turned professional and joined the Elitserien with Modo at age 16. At the beginning of the 2008–09 season, he was ranked first overall amongst all draft-eligible skaters in the International Scouting Services' preliminary rankings.[2] In the same season, he was nominated as the SHL Rookie of the Year. Following his performance at the 2009 World Junior Championships for Sweden, Hedman was listed atop the rankings of European skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau. Despite the unlikelihood of Hedman playing in Russia, he was drafted 83rd overall by the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL)'s Spartak Moscow on 1 June 2009.[3]

Going into the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Hedman was listed as the second-ranked player and top European player. He was drafted second overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning, behind John Tavares, who was drafted first overall by the New York Islanders.[4][5]

Hedman has drawn comparisons to Hart Trophy-winning defenceman Chris Pronger, who is also 6' 6" and 220 pounds, as well as also being drafted second overall.[6]

Tampa Bay Lightning (2009–present)

Early years in Tampa (2009–2013)

Hedman made his NHL debut for the Lightning on 3 October 2009, against the Atlanta Thrashers. He registered his first point, an assist, on a Martin St. Louis goal. His first NHL goal was then scored on 5 December against Dwayne Roloson of the New York Islanders. The 2009–10 season, His rookie season ended with Hedman playing 74 games with four goals, 16 assists and 20 points.

Hedman with the Lightning in May 2011

On 5 January 2011, half way into his sophomore NHL season in 2010–11, Hedman checked Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby from behind, receiving a minor boarding penalty. The hit was one of two that were eventually blamed for causing a severe concussion on Crosby that kept him out of play for the rest of the season and most of the 2011–12 season.[7][8] After ending the 2010–11 season with three goals, 23 assists and 26 points in 79 games and helped the Lightning clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2007, Hedman made his Stanley Cup Playoff debut on 13 April 2011 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.[9] On 15 April in game two, Hedman recorded his first career playoff assist and point on a goal by Eric Brewer.[10] Hedman and the Lightning would make a surprisingly deep playoff run throughout the 2011 playoffs as they would eventually defeat the fourth-seeded Penguins in seven games (after initially trailing 3–1 in earlier in the series) and then sweep the top seeded Washington Capitals in four games in the second round before getting defeated by the third-seeded and eventual Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Finals in seven games, one win short from reaching the Stanley Cup Finals.[11]

On 29 November 2011, shortly into the 2011–12 season, Hedman signed a five-year, $20 million contract extension with Tampa Bay.[12]

On 25 September 2012, it was announced that Hedman signed a contract with Barys Astana of the KHL during the 2012–13 NHL lockout.[13] In January 2013, Hedman returned to the NHL after lockout ended, playing 44 games of the shortened 48-game season and registering four goals, 16 assists and 20 points.

Rising star amongst defenceman, Norris Trophy win (2013–2019)

During the 2013–14 season, Hedman had a breakout season, posting a career best in goals (13), assists (42) and points (55) in 75 contests played. In Game 4 in the opening round of the 2014 playoffs on 22 April 2014, Hedman scored his first career playoff goal on Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price.[14] The sixth-seeded Canadiens would eventually win the game 4–3 against the Lightning to complete the four game sweep.

Hedman picked up right where he left off to start the 2014–15 season. However, his strong start would be derailed after he suffered a broken finger in a game against the Vancouver Canucks on 18 October 2014, which was expected to rule him out of play for four to six weeks.[15] At the time of this injury, Hedman was tied for the lead amongst NHL defencemen with seven points, and was considered a possible James Norris Memorial Trophy candidate for Defenceman of the Year entering into the season.[16] Despite this injury, Hedman still had a productive season with the Lightning, scoring 10 goals, 28 assists and 38 points in 59 games played. After Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Chicago Blackhawks on 6 June 2015, Hedman had recorded two points with two assists on goals by Cédric Paquette and Jason Garrison to secure the spot as the point leader by a Lightning defencemen in a single playoff year, with one goal, 11 assists and 12 points up that point in the 2015 playoffs.[17] On 8 June, during Game 3 of the Finals, Hedman recorded assists on goals by Ryan Callahan and Cédric Paquette to set the Lightning franchise record for most career playoff assists (20) and points (23) by a defenceman, surpassing Dan Boyle, who previously held the record with three goals and 19 assists (22 points).[18] The Lightning would eventually lose the series to the Blackhawks in six games and Hedman finished the playoffs with a goal and 13 assists for 14 points in all 26 games.[19]

On 20 May 2016, Hedman recorded two assists in a 4–3 Lightning win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in game four of the Eastern Conference Finals in the 2016 playoffs on goals by Ryan Callahan and Jonathan Drouin, respectively.[20] The two assists moved Hedman past Vincent Lecavalier (28) and Brad Richards (29) for number two all-time in playoff assists with the franchise.[21] In game six on 24 May, Hedman played his 64th career playoff game to become the leader in playoff games played for the Lightning. He surpassed former teammates Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier, who were tied for the most playoff games played in franchise history beforehand.[22] The Lightning would eventually fall in seven games to the Penguins in the third round of the playoffs by losing game seven 2–1 for a 4–3 defeat in the series, one win short from a second consecutive appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals.[23]

On 1 July 2016, the Lightning re-signed Hedman to an eight-year contract extension worth $7.875 million per season. In the previous season, Hedman led all Lightning defencemen in goals (10), assists (37), points (47) and plus/minus. He also led all Lightning skaters in assists, plus/minus, average ice time (23:03), takeaways (48) and blocked shots (132). He also posted a career high with a plus-21 rating.

He is also second all-time among defencemen in assists (180) and fourth for goals (49). Hedman ranks third all-time among Lightning defencemen for games played, trailing only Pavel Kubina (662) and Cory Sarich (490). In addition, Hedman is the Bolts' all-time playoff leader for points, goals, assists and plus/minus among defencemen.[24] On 26 October, Hedman recorded his 50th career NHL goal.[25] The goal came in a 7–3 Lightning victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre.[26] On 5 November, Hedman recorded his 187th assist on a Brian Boyle goal, which tied him with Dan Boyle for most career assists by a Lightning defenceman.[27] The assist came in a 4–1 Lightning victory over the visiting New Jersey Devils.[28] On 10 November, Hedman recorded his 188th career assist on a goal by Nikita Kucherov against the New York Islanders which is the most assists by a defenceman in Lightning history.[29] Hedman is now seventh in franchise history in assists.[30] On 14 November, Hedman recorded his 189th assist, which tied with Brian Bradley for sixth in assists in Lightning history.

His 56 assists led the Lightning in assists. Hedman and the Lightning would miss the 2017 playoffs by just one point in the standings.[51] On 21 April, Hedman was named as a finalist for the James Norris Memorial Trophy for the first time in his career, which is awarded annually to the NHL's top defenceman.[52] Hedman finished third in Norris voting that season as the award ultimately went to Brent Burns of the San Jose Sharks.[53] On 21 June, Hedman was named as an NHL Second Team All Star for the 2016–17 season.[54]

However, Hedman did participate in the event by serving an assistant equipment manager.[62] On 8 February, Hedman recorded a goal in a 5–2 win over the visiting Vancouver Canucks. The goal moved Hedman past Pavel Kubina for the most goals by a defenceman in franchise history.[63] On 3 March, Hedman recorded a four-point game in a 7–6 Lightning shootout win over the visiting Philadelphia Flyers. With his four-point effort Hedman became the only defenceman in Lightning history to record multiple 4+ point games.[64] Hedman finished the 2017–18 season with 17 goals and 46 assists for 63 points in 77 games played to help the Lightning not only return to the playoffs after the team narrowly missed the year prior but also helping the Lightning finish the season as the top seed in the Eastern Conference. In the 2018 playoffs, Hedman and the Lightning would go on another lengthy playoff run having defeated the eighth-seeded New Jersey Devils in five games and the third-seeded Boston Bruins in five games in the first two rounds before being defeated in the Eastern Conference Finals in seven games by the second-seeded and eventual Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals, one win short of reaching the Stanley Cup Finals once more.[65] Hedman ended the playoffs with one goal and 10 assists for 11 points in all 17 games played.

After defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs, Presidents' Trophy-winning Florida Panthers and New York Rangers in the first three rounds, Hedman and the Lightning would reach a third consecutive Stanley Cup Finals (fourth altogether for Hedman's tenure and career) in which the Lightning would fall in six games to the top-seeded Colorado Avalanche.[92]

Personal life

Hedman has two older brothers – Oscar Hedman, who was also a professional hockey player that played for Modo Hockey; as well as Johan Hedman, who does not play professionally.

As a child, Hedman originally started out playing as a goaltender. He also played hockey on the streets together with his friends, among them, famous iRacing driver Fredrik Sellgren. His father, Olle Hedman, told his son that if he left the net, he would purchase him the new helmet that he coveted. He has not played in goal since that day. Victor said, "I'm thankful for that now. You never know what would have happened otherwise."[103]

Hedman's other passions were flying (he has logged eight hours on a Piper PA-32), and football. His father said that his son would just outrun everyone on the field. Hedman still plays soccer in the summer, and religiously follows the sport. He supports Premier League side Manchester United[104] In an article, it was revealed that when quizzed on any player on any Premier League team, he could not be stumped. His dad said that his son "probably knows more about football than hockey". However, "Hedman knew that hockey would be his future, encouraged by some of the game's greats. They'd come back every summer to play for a team called the Icebreakers, inviting Hedman to play." Some notable players on the team included Peter Forsberg, Markus Näslund, Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Bäckström. Hedman said that "looking back at it now, it was an unbelievable experience".[103]

In 2014, Hedman started a hockey school in his hometown. The spots in the school sold out in two hours. Hedman said that "to see the thrill in the kids' eyes, it's worth it all".[103]

Hedman is from Örnsköldsvik and trains with the twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin in the off-season.[105]

In a 2016 interview with The Hockey News, Hedman explained why he wears the jersey number 77. During his childhood in Sweden, he regularly watched Colorado Avalanche games; one of the Avalanche's star players at the time, Peter Forsberg, is Swedish. A memorable moment for Hedman came at the conclusion of the 2001 Stanley Cup Finals, when Avalanche captain Joe Sakic handed the Stanley Cup to teammate Ray Bourque (one of Hedman's favorite players), who had played 22 years in the NHL before winning a championship. Hedman wore the jersey number 41 in Sweden, but when he was drafted by the Lightning, that number was already worn by Mike Smith. Hedman chose his new number, 77, as a tribute to Bourque.[106]
