Love Härenstam extends contract with Södertälje

Love Härenstam, the 19-year-old Swedish goaltender and world junior champion, has signed on for another season with Södertälje SK in Hockeyallsvenskan. The club announced the extension on Wednesday, keeping the Värmdö native through 2027. Härenstam, who was named the league's top rookie and best goaltender for the 2025/2026 season, remains with SSK despite being drafted by the NHL's St. Louis Blues.

Södertälje SK confirmed via social media that Härenstam will continue his development in Hockeyallsvenskan. The young netminder, drafted by St. Louis Blues but without a rookie contract yet, earned accolades as the league's standout rookie and top goaltender last season. SSK views him as a key player in their roster build for the upcoming campaign. The announcement follows Södertälje's signing of versatile forward Daniel Muzito-Bagenda from AIK on a three-year deal, as revealed on Monday. This move strengthens their lineup ahead of the new season. Härenstam's decision keeps him in familiar surroundings, where he can hone his skills before potentially moving to the NHL.
