Nils Höglander is making a big difference back home in Sweden. According to the website svt.se [https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/vasterbotten/en-manad-tidigare-is-i-mala-tack-vare-nhl-stjarnan-nils-hoglander], the Vancouver Canucks winger helped open an ice rink in Malå a month earlier than expected. Höglander has a special connection with the city of Malå, as Malå IF was where he played his youth hockey. The article also includes a quote from André Önnerlöv, who works as a property manager for the Malå municipality. Using Google Translate, the quote says, "We are very pleased that he showed interest and came back to his roots and inspired the younger generation." The article also contains a quote from Höglander, which, when translated, says," It's fun for young people to have ice. I know for myself that it's the best thing there is when you're young."
