Yesterday, the Ottawa Senators broke their contract with Åberg and today he was ready for Timrå.

The forward has signed a contract that extends for the rest of the season.

“It will be fun to come home to Sweden after many years in both the USA and Canada.

I am really looking forward to coming back to Swedish hockey and the SHL and hope to be able to contribute in a positive way both on and off the ice ", says Åberg.

The 28-year-old forward has been something of a migratory bird in recent seasons.

He has made seven seasons in North America, belonged to six different NHL organizations and made 150 NHL appearances.

He has also made a season in the KHL club Traktor Chelyabinsk.
