Herman Liv has officially signed a two-year contract with HV71, returning to the Jönköping club where he began his career. He is the son of HV71 legend Stefan Liv, who died in a plane crash 15 years ago. Herman Liv expressed joy at returning to the club, stating he has followed HV71 since he was born and looks forward to continuing his development as a goaltender there.
HV71 retired Stefan Liv's jersey number 1 after his death, but the club's board has approved Herman Liv potentially taking the number out of retirement if he wants it. Herman Liv said he has not decided on a number yet but is grateful for the opportunity, as he has always worn number 1 in his career and it means a lot to him.
I have followed HV71 since I was born and look forward to continuing my development as a goaltender there.
