Ray Hardy �str�m is a retired Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender who played three seasons in the National Hockey League for the New York Rangers and Colorado Rockies. Due to his tendency for letting in shots taken from behind the blue line, Rockies head coach Don Cherry unceremoniously dubbed him "The Swedish Sieve." �str�m was the first European goaltender to start an NHL game, when he played for the Rangers against the Montreal Canadiens on the 29th of February, 1978. �str�m played brilliantly in the Rangers' 6-3 win, which also stopped Montreal's 28-game unbeaten streak. 

March 29th, 1951 in Skellefteå (Age 73)
