Skellefteå's forward star put a period to his career in the spring of 2023 and on Saturday, the 41-year-old had his jersey hoisted to the ceiling before Skellefteå's meeting with the series leader Brynäs.
He is the second Skellefteå player after Jimmie Ericsson to have his jersey hoisted to the ceiling.
When I started playing hockey, I couldn't imagine that I would stand here one day and see my jersey number ten being hoisted up to the ceiling, says the Skellefteå native in his speech of thanks.
Joakim Lindström won two SM gold medals with Skellefteå and scored 492 points (179 goals+313 assists) in 526 regular season matches with the club.
The whole family was present and Lindström thanked everyone.
You have supported me through thick and thin. You are invaluable. It's a fantastic day for me, so I just want to thank everyone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, he says.
Joakim Lindström has been named Sweden's best hockey player once and has won the Guldhjälmen, the prize for SHL's most valuable player, three times.
Lindström made 53 national team appearances for Tre Kronor and won World Championship bronze in 2014.
