Growing up in Iceland GK always dreamed of one day playing in the SHL, and representing his nation in the big leagues. Honestly speaking, he put in a lot of hard work, and practice lighting up the Icelandic leagues with his play in hopes of being spotted by teams in the SMJHL, so that he could jumpstart his career. He got in touch with his agent, a former player, Patrice Nadeau who helped him hone the tools he indeed to be successful in the major leagues. When GK steps out on the ice he really feels that he is at home, and it reminds him of his time in Iceland playing with friends in the winter, and brings him back to his youthful days. Additionally, the sport itself was something that he and his father shared together, growing up watching SHL highlights, and going for skates with his dad, this really grew the love for his game, and helped develop the dream of one day playing in the SHL, and here we are today where GK is in his 9th season in the SHL and 11th Season in Professional hockey.
