The occasion was marked by the presence of Leafs alumni and current stars, including Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren, who were spotted enjoying the festivities. Not to be missed were Carl Dalhstrom and Erik Kallgren, who also joined to celebrate Engvall's big day. The event was well-documented on social media, giving fans a glimpse into the joyous celebration
It's heartwarming to see the strong camaraderie among the Swedish players of the Maple Leafs, extending beyond the rink. Both Engvall and Sandin have recently secured their future with significant contracts in Long Island and Washington, respectively. Meanwhile, Dahlstrom is set to make a move to the Swiss League, and Kallgren will be joining Brynas IF in the Swedish Hockey League this fall, after his time in the minors. Amid these changes, Liljegren stands as the only one from this Swedish group who remains with the Leafs, having inked a new two-year deal worth $6 million earlier this summer.
Adding a touch of humor to the event, Liljegren was seen shedding his usual reserved persona for a night of dancing and laughter, a far cry from the stoic "mechanic" look he's known for in his photos, usually associated with requests for pricey auto repairs.
The wedding was not only a celebration of love but also a testament to the lasting friendships formed between players, both past and present. As we send our best wishes to Pierre and Matilda Engvall, this event reminds us all that the bonds formed in hockey often last a lifetime, echoing well beyond the confines of the ice.
