Erling Haaland spotted at NHL finals in Raleigh

Norwegian football star Erling Haaland was caught on camera in the upper stands of the NHL final between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was seen wearing a Canes jersey while watching the game ahead of the upcoming football World Cup. Norway’s men’s ice‑hockey head coach Ståle Solbakken told Norway’s NRK that three members of his coaching staff helped arrange Haaland’s visit, adding, “Kolme valmennusryhmän jäsentä alkoi puskea asiaa eteenpäin,” and remarked on the “hurja tunnelma” (crazy atmosphere). The appearance marks Haaland’s first major international football tournament and comes as Norway prepares for its first ice‑hockey World Cup match in 28 years, set to face Iraq.
