Håkan Södergren Returns as Expert for HBO Max at Olympic Games

There are certain things you cannot say no to, says the 66-year-old to Expressen.

The idea was that the expert career would have ended at Avicii arena in the spring during Viaplay's broadcasts of the World Championship, but when HBO Max got in touch, the former national team player Södergren could not say no.

I had not seen it in front of me at all. So it was a feeling of "wow, how fun!" I felt that here you have to take the opportunity, he says to the magazine.

The ice hockey tournament is decided in Milan in February and the NHL players are back in the Olympic Games for the first time since Sochi 2014.

I did the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014 for Viaplay. It was a fantastic Olympic Games. It was the same conditions as it will be now. All the best players are included, says Södergren.
