Rasmus Dahlin needs guidance in sauna.
Swedish NHL star Rasmus Dahlin has acquired a new home and a sauna on the side, Expressen news.
The defenseman who plays for the Buffalo Sabers invested in a sauna and outdoor cold pool after hearing about their restorative effects.
However, Dahlin has not experienced saunas. He needs help with his new hobby – and who better to help than a Finnish teammate Henri Jokiharju.
– I ask Henri all the time how to use the sauna. His father takes a sauna every day and Henri is a true professional himself. He also has a sauna in his own home, says Dahlin.
The Swede has noticed that the baths have been good for the body.
– Every morning I feel really good. I usually take a sauna every night before going to bed. This has improved circulation and recovery. I’m going to continue on the same path.
In addition to Dahlin and Jokiharju, also an experienced Yankee of the Sabres Eric Johnson swears in the name of the slobs.
– Erik has a lot of experience and he has said that he wouldn’t have played (without a sauna) for this long. He is 35, but has been playing in the NHL for something like 40 years, Dahlin jokes.
