I'm doing some volunteer game development for Gold Town Games. Gold Town is the nickname for Skelleftea. They are based there and they gave me some intel on Hardy.
"About Hardy: Well, first of all, he’s named after club legend Hardy Nilsson, team captain when Skelleftea won the championship in -78. Hardy Häman is a tall, lanky dman who’s had big injury problems (hip/back/groin). Hopefully he will stay fit now and be able to train hard and bulk up his frame. Hardy has got great poise with the puck , a good hockey sense and passing game. But as I said, the key for him to reach the big stage is to stay fit. "
