Lundell celebrated in front of 3,400 fans at the arena. Initially, only 2,500 tickets were available, but due to high demand, 900 extra tickets were made available.

Included in that crowd were his father Jan Lundell, Panthers coach Tuomo Ruutu and former HIFK teammates Juha Jaaska, Ville Varakas, Micke-Max Asten and Jesse Saarinen.

“(Anton), just like his brother, spent the entire first years of his life in the locker rooms of this arena,” Jan Lundell said. “That way, he saw everything in this world, all the ups and downs, very early on.”

Jan Lundell was a hockey player himself and spent his time playing for HIFK, helping the team win the Finnish championship in 2011.

“Like every kid, I was dreaming of the Stanley Cup and winning the best league in the world,” Jan Lundell said. “We visited a lot of places today and this will leave great memories.”

Anton Lundell says his dream of winning his own championship began when he watched his father win the title in 2011.

“I remember all the energy I got from that during that summer and the years after,” Anton Lundell said. “That’s when I really started dreaming of being in that position one day, celebrating on the ice with the team after winning something big.”

Before the public ceremony at the arena, Lundell took the trophy home and into the sauna, because why not?
