Henrik Lundqvist Jr. was hooked on hockey forever thanks to his dad who is the Great Henrik Lundqvist. He wanted to be just like him and started as a goalie but it did not work at all, he didn't quite have the knack for tracking pucks and being really flexible. But he liked skating and being out there and trying to make a name for himself and to be remembered like the original Henrik Lundqvist was. He worked really hard to get better and soon was doing great at scrimmages. his speed on his skates was practically speed skating level and that was a gift, and he always had great hands and vision. The one goalie skill he did inherit was his reaction time, he could think fast and make the right move just like Henrik Lundqvist could in net and that put him a step ahead of the pack. Lundqvist Jr. had the genes of a star and made use of it.
