Filipino

Veteran center Nicklas Bäckström will remain with Brynäs IF for the 2026/2027 campaign. The club confirmed that neither side activated the option to end his contract. Uncertainty lingers over his return timeline due to ongoing rehabilitation.

Brynäs IF announced on Thursday that Bäckström, 38, keeps his spot in the SHL roster after the player and club declined to terminate the option year. The former NHL star rejoined the team last season following his North American career and has played a key role both on and off the ice.
