Henrik Lundqvist shows how to retire in style with epic waterfront BBQ
The legendary goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, a.k.a.
"The King,"
is showing that existence beyond hockey can be quite amazing. In a picture posted by Henrik's official Instagram handle, Lundqvist was seen having a laid-back summer afternoon, topless by the grill with a breathtaking ocean view.
The retired New York Rangers legend is enjoying retirement with the same swagger and charm he possessed on the ice, only now with more sun and less slapshots.
Henrik Lundqvist lives the life in retirement with picturesque summer BBQ
Henrik posted the photo on his Instagram with the caption,
'Swedish BBQ season off to a great start 👌🏻,'
wearing sunglasses and a hat. Lundqvist flanked a chic barbecue station, obviously in his element as he flipped food in the sunny weather.
Long renowned for his quick wit off the ice, Lundqvist has ever balanced a passion for fashion, music, and family alongside his legendary hockey life.
After retiring from the NHL, he leaned into those passions while remaining immersed in the sport as an analyst and ambassador.
The photo is the perfect representation of how he has moved from a life of big-realm games to one about leisure and fun. Whether on the microphone or the grill, Lundqvist appears adamant about creating a new gold standard in retirement.
From Madison Square Garden to waterfront leisure
Following 15 seasons with the New York Rangers and winning the Vezina Trophy, Lundqvist retired in 2021 as a result of a heart problem that was to be operated on.

Henrik Lundqvist's waterfront barbecue is more than just a harbinger of summer, it's a sign that some legends manage to make even retirement seem like a work of art. And by that huge grin, the King is precisely where he belongs.

Alia Bhatt Reacts To Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana First Look: "Some Things Don't Need Words"
Mumbai: Actress Alia Bhatt took to social media to react to the first look of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram in Ramayana. The actress is beyond words after witnessing her husband's transformation for the epic saga. Taking to her Instagram handle, Alia shared the first look teaser from the movie and wrote, 'Some things don't need words. This feels like the start of something unforgettable. Diwali 2026 — we're waiting.' Notably, Alia Bhatt has always been one of Ranbir Kapoor's biggest cheerleaders, both personally and professionally. Whether it's attending his film screenings, sharing heartfelt posts on social media, or speaking fondly of him in interviews, the 'Raazi' actress never misses a chance to celebrate her husband's achievements. On Thursday, the makers dropped the much-awaited first look of Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash from their upcoming film Ramayana.

It then seamlessly shifts, through vivid animation, to reveal the lead characters from the epic tale: Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as the formidable Ravana. The teaser highlights a compelling contrast between Yash's fierce and intense portrayal of Ravana and Ranbir Kapoor's serene and composed depiction of Lord Ram.
