Holmstrom To Represent Sweden At World Championships; Latest On The Pending RFA
Holmstrom earned the opportunity to represent his country.
With National teams gearing up for the 2025 World Championships, I’ve been told that New York Islanders forward and pending restricted free agent Simon Holmstrom will be representing Team Sweden.
After seeing him record his first 20-goal season, adding a career-high 25 assists for a career-best 45 points in 75 games, there was always a strong chance he’d get the opportunity.
But, Holmstrom shared on locker room cleanout day that he had something more important to worry about.
"I haven't really thought about [playing in the Worlds] that much. You know, I have a contract that I’ve got to sign, and I've been focused on this season.”
