Fun Facts
- Victor got married to the gorgeous and lovely Sanna Grundberg on 23rd July 2017. They are both very private individuals, and not much is known about them. Both of them enjoy hiding their private lives from the cameras.
- Victor Hedman has developed a serious interest in football during his two seasons with the Lightning, so you can only imagine his excitement on October 31, the day after the Lightning played the Coyotes in Glendale, Arizona, when he received pregame sideline passes for the Buccaneers’ game against the Cardinals.
- Hedman was born and raised in Ornskoldsvik, a small city in northern Sweden known for producing an absurd amount of elite hockey talent, including Peter Forsberg, Daniel, and Henrik Sedin, Markus Naslund, a former captain of the Vancouver Canucks, and Tobias Enstrom, a current defenseman for the Winnipeg Jets.
