Niclas Havelid

While born in Stockholm, he was raised in Enköping, roughly 78 km west of his birthplace.[citation needed] Hävelid began his hockey career playing locally around his home of Enköping in Division 1 of the SIHA. After two seasons with the Enköping he played with the Arlanda Wings for the 1990–1991 season. The following year, he moved to AIK, a team based in Stockholm. He continued with AIK until the 1998–99 season when he went to the Malmö Redhawks.\n', ' Hävelid was drafted 83rd overall by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft at age 28 (most players are drafted at age 18). In 1999, he played in his first North American season, notching nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 50 games with Anaheim, making his NHL debut at Dallas on October 2, 1999. A month later, he recorded his first goal, assist and multiple-point game in the NHL in one night against the Blackhawks and goaltender Jocelyn Thibault on November 19. In December, he would continue to post four (one goal, three assists) out of nine points for the season in a nine-game span from December 12 to 29, 1999. The new year would not begin as well. With a broken finger, Hävelid would miss 22 games, from January 15 to March 8, 2000. His lone two game minor league stint for post injury conditioning would be with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks. He was scoreless in both games.\n', ' In the early months of the 2000–01 season with the Ducks, Hävelid earned six of his ten assists for the year in a nine-game span from October 16 to 30, 2000. This would include a career-best four game point streak. He would set yet another career high with two goals and four points against Columbus on December 13, 2000.\n', '
