The Golden Puck, which is given to "Sweden's best hockey player", has been awarded by the Swedish Ice Hockey Association and Expressen since 1956.
It's crazy. As soon as I heard that I had won the Golden Puck, I went in and checked out everyone who had won. Those are incredible names. To be a part of it is completely unreal. "I haven't gotten it yet," the 26-year-old tells Expressen.
Dahlin plays for the Buffalo Sabres and has been the club's captain for the past two years. This year, he was nominated for the Norris Trophy, the award given to the NHL's best defenseman, and also made the NHL Second All-Star Team.
