HV71 roster changes following Noah Philp retirement

Overview

In August 2026, Canadian forward Noah Philp announced his retirement from professional ice hockey, terminating a 1+1-year contract with the Swedish Hockey League club HV71. Philp stated his motivation for the sport was no longer sufficient.

Following this departure, HV71 reportedly moved to secure a replacement. The club is said to be nearing a deal with 27-year-old center Mike Hardman, a North American forward with NHL and AHL experience. While HV71 sports director Johan Hult declined to comment on an official signature, reports suggest a verbal agreement is in place to add depth to the roster.
