Henrik Zetterberg has shared insights from his initial year in Timrå IK's sports council. The former NHL player discussed daily work on player and coach recruitment ahead of the new season.
Zetterberg joined the council last fall and has worked closely with sports chief Kent Norberg. He speaks with Norberg every day about recruitment and leadership matters, along with council members Emil Berglund and Niklas Nordgren. The SHL player market is highly competitive, Zetterberg noted. Success depends on acting quickly before other clubs target the same players. One key move was hiring head coach Mikael Gath. Zetterberg expressed satisfaction with the choice and believes Gath is ready for the next step in his career at Timrå. The squad is largely complete for the winter, though Zetterberg acknowledged missing out on at least one desired player who signed elsewhere.
