October Prospect of the Month Chris Heino-Lindberg
Written by Dan Linn
Habsworld.net has named Swedish goaltender Christopher Heino-Lindberg the October prospect of the month for his outstanding play in nets for Hammerby of the Swedish tier-2 league. After only one appearance in the tier-2 league at the age of 17, Heino-Lindberg was able to land a starting position the next season after being loaned to Vallentuna, the worst team in the league. Not only was it difficult for the 18 year old to play in the higher level of competition, but he was also faced with the difficult task of facing 40 + shots a night, and at times upwards of 60 shots, in addition to playing on a team that had great difficulty to find ways to win. This may end up being a major learning curve for the young netminder, as he never gave up and according to his father, “Chris never let it get him down, no matter how tough it got on him”. Tough times like this can benefit a player in the long run as they build character from facing tough challenges, as it can’t be easy to put on the pads night in and night out, knowing that most likely not going to win, as Vallentuna won only three games all season.....
