Örebro Hockey targets Leksand forward Michael Lindqvist

Örebro Hockey is pursuing forward Michael Lindqvist from relegated Leksand ahead of next season, sources say. The 31-year-old right-shooter has averaged around 25 points per season over 11 years in SHL. Leksand fell to HV71 in recent qualification play.

Örebro Hockey continues building its roster for the upcoming SHL campaign by showing interest in veteran forward Michael Lindqvist, according to reports from Nerikes Allehanda. The club views the experienced player as a potential addition to bolster its offensive lineup. Lindqvist, who played for Leksand last season, became available after his team's relegation following a loss to HV71 in qualification matches. The 31-year-old has established himself as a reliable scorer, consistently producing about 25 points each year across more than a decade in the league. Örebro's sports director Henrik Löwdahl declined to comment on the transfer rumors when approached. Lindqvist's availability has drawn attention in the SHL market as teams prepare for the new season.
