Lundqvist's Twin Brother

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

I was reading about the upcoming World Cup of Hockey and they offhandedly mentioned that Henrik Lundqvist's twin brother is captain of a Swedish club team "Frolunda". It's apparently a team that a lot of young Swedish talent comes from (Henrik Lundqvist, Loui Eriksson, Erik Karlsson played for them). This raised a few thoughts for me. A: I didn't even know he had a twin brother B: I didn't know he had a twin brother that played hockey c: I didn't know that he had a twin brother good enough at hockey to be captaining a team.

Is this news to anyone else?

Where are the top hockey hotbeds?

He was actually drafted a few rounds ahead of Hank. Dallas I think picked him in the 3rd or 4th round.
