HV71's young forward Jamiro Reber netted his first goal of the season in Saturday's match against Rögle, breaking through after a challenging start. The 19-year-old Swiss player expressed relief following the late second-period tally.
Jamiro Reber emerged as one of HV71's biggest surprises last season, quickly winning over fans despite being an unknown quantity at the start. This year, however, the 19-year-old Swiss forward faced a tougher beginning, marked by several weak performances that led to him being benched to the club's junior team, compounded by an injury.
In recent weeks, Reber has been given opportunities to return to the senior lineup, and signs of improvement have appeared. His breakthrough came during HV71's encounter with Rögle on Saturday, where he deflected the puck into the net late in the second period for his first goal of the campaign.
"Det var verkligen på tiden. Jag har haft en tung start, men jag jobbar för att hitta tillbaka till det spel som fungerade så bra i fjol. Det känns som att det går åt rätt håll," Reber told JP, highlighting his efforts to recapture last year's form.
