SUNRISE — As the Florida Panthers were making Thanksgiving plans, Oliver Ekman-Larsson got the opportunity to take a step back and realize how much he meant to his home country of Sweden.
Over the course of his 14-year NHL career, the 32-year-old has become one of the most famous Swedish players.
“It’s something I take a lot of pride in,” Ekman-Larsson said.
Ekman-Larsson was reminded of his impact pretty quickly when a large group of fans — as well as some old friends — came to Sunrise to cheer him on during the team’s three-game homestand last month.
Many of them came from Ekman-Larsson’s hometown of Tingsryd, a small village of just over 3,000 people.
Two of them coached Ekman-Larsson when he was just a kid.
