Gustav Rydahl Makes Triumphant Return to Frölunda HC for 2025 Season

Gustav Rydahl has successfully returned to Frölunda HC after a long injury, ready to team up with junior players for the new season.

Key Points

  • • Gustav Rydahl returns after a long-term back injury.
  • • He has only played 28 matches over two seasons due to this injury.
  • • Rydahl joins junior players on the fourth line.
  • • Frölunda faces Växjö Lakers in their upcoming match.

Gustav Rydahl has officially returned to Frölunda HC for the 2025 season, overcoming a persistent back injury that previously limited him to just 28 games over the last two years. At 30 years old, Rydahl expressed his enthusiasm for rejoining Frölunda by stating he is "making another attempt to play a match." He previously played four seasons with Färjestad before this comeback.

In the upcoming game against Växjö Lakers, Rydahl will fill a pivotal role on the fourth line, partnering with promising juniors Max Westergård and Noah Hasa. This synergy is crucial as Westergård recently had a noteworthy playoff performance. Frölunda will be looking to leverage Rydahl’s experience as they aim for a strong start to the season.

Notably, Frölunda's lineup will miss the contributions of players like Max Friberg, Nicklas Lasu, and Linus Högberg, who were part of the earlier training match against HV71 but will not be in action tonight.
