Timeline

1951

Anders Hedberg (born 25 February 1951) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player who was one of the first European-born players to make an impact in North America.

1969

He was twice voted best junior in Sweden and as such the only one (1969 and 1970) and is a graduate from the Stockholm School of Physical Education (GIH).

1970

In the early 1970s Hedberg worked as an intern with Jerry Wilson, a Canadian former hockey player who was studying the physiology of hockey players, specifically their heart and lung conditioning.

Wilson had been asked by the Winnipeg Jets of the World Hockey Association (WHA) to watch out for any notable Swedish hockey players, and he recommended both Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson, who was one of Wilson's subjects.

1974

Along with countryman Ulf Nilsson, Hedberg signed a contract to play for the Winnipeg Jets in the World Hockey Association (WHA) in 1974, after having represented both Modo Hockey and Djurgårdens IF in his native Sweden.

Hedberg subsequently played during seven seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the New York Rangers.

Both would join the Jets in 1974.

At the time the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League owned Hedberg's NHL rights, but by going to the WHA there was no compensation required.

Hedberg was an instant sensation in the WHA, recording 100 points in 65 games in his first season, and playing alongside established superstar Bobby Hull.

1976

He scored at least 50 goals and 100 points in his other three WHA seasons, peaking with 70 goals and 61 assists in 1976-77 despite only playing 68 games that year.

Hedberg played a starring role when the Jets won the Avco World Trophy WHA championship in 1976 and 1978.

By this time both Hedberg and Nilsson were looking to join the NHL, as they had nothing left to prove in the WHA.

They were also looking for a massive increase in salary: both had earned around $125,000 in the 1976–77 season.

With their high salary demands, the only NHL team capable of signing them was the New York Rangers.

While the Jets stated they wanted to re-sign both players, the team did not have the financial backing to do so.

1978

In the summer of 1978, Nilsson and Hedberg signed with the Rangers.

Each signed contracts $600,000 per season for two years.

Their signings further weakened the struggling WHA which would cease operations after just one more season.

This was one of the first open acknowledgements that the quality of the WHA was on par with the NHL, making a merger with the WHA possible the following summer.

1979

In his first NHL season, Hedberg was a member of the member of the NHL All-Stars that faced the USSR National Team in the 1979 Challenge Cup.

1985

Hedberg recorded 856 professional points in North American hockey over 751 games, and retired from the Rangers in 1985.

After his active career, Hedberg became an assistant to general manager Craig Patrick of the New York Rangers, the first European to have a front office job in the NHL.

1991

Between 1991 and 1997 he worked as a scout for the Toronto Maple Leafs before moving up to the position as assistant general manager from 1997 to 1999.

1997

He played internationally for the Sweden men's national ice hockey team, and was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 1997.

2000

In 2000, he was appointed general manager of the Swedish national ice hockey team, later serving with the Ottawa Senators as Director of Player Personnel from 2002 to 2007.

2007

In August 2007, he returned to the New York Rangers as the Head Professional European Scout.

2012

He was elected to the Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame on 11 February 2012.
