Vålerenga: The Emotional Return of a Hockey Veteran

The Journey Back to Vålerenga

Bonsaksen, a central figure from the TV2 series 'Iskrigerne' that captivated Norway in 2014, has returned to the team he grew up with after stints in Swedish, Finnish, and German hockey. After two years in Frisk/Asker, his emotional homecoming at Vålerenga is filled with ambition and nostalgia. “I never thought this opportunity would arise again,” he expressed during a recent meeting at Jordal Amfi.

Reflecting on the Past

The defender candidly remarked on his previous acceptance that he might never play for Vålerenga again. “Two years ago, I hadn't anticipated this,” he admitted. Conversations soon led to a mutual desire for him to return, making the decision easier.

Aspirations for the Future

Bonsaksen has high hopes for his comeback with Vålerenga, especially after the team’s near miss in last season's playoff finals against Storhamar. “We can achieve great things,” he stated, emphasizing the goal to become a top team and ultimately lift the championship trophy.

The Upcoming Challenge

Vålerenga's season opener is set to take place this Friday night at a packed Jordal Amfi against Frisk/Asker, adding another layer of excitement to his return.
