Name:
Henrik: Scandinavian, Low German, Hungarian and

meant "home ruler", composed of the elements heim "home"
and ric "power, ruler".
Nicknames:
"Zata",
means "Z" in Swedish (He is known by this to fans in Sweden)
Hank, short
for Henrik (...it
was Brett Hull who began calling Henrik Zetterberg Hank because he
didn't like Henrik. For some, even Hank was too long, so they
shortened it to Z )
Henrik's
first job ever was a summer job working in a bowling alley
as part of a school program.
“I did most of the things,
like cleaning the alley. If there was a problem with the machine,
you'd have to run back and fix it." says
Zetterberg.
Military Experience: At age 17, Zetterberg
served in the Swedish Army for just 7 and 1/2 months, specializing
in locating and conducting surveillance on the enemy.
"I didn't want to go! But, I ended up going and had a
fun time. I was the guy who goes out before everybody and tries to
find out where the enemy is on the field. It was something to
remember!" says Zetterberg.
Military service is mandatory in Sweden. All Swedish men between
age 18 and 47 can be called to serve with the armed
forces. Less than one fifth of the country's eligible
19-year-olds are actually drafted each year. Military service
comprises between 8 to 15 months of training, taking the school
terms into consideration. 
FAVORITES:
Clothes: "Zatacollection", "Tiger"
(Swedish), Hugo Boss suits
Pet pug named Donnie Brasco
Movie: "The Godfather", "Donnie Brasco"
Hobbies: Boating, Wake boarding.
Favorite off season sporting activity: Tennis. "I grew up with a
tennis court 20 (meters) away from my house (in Klockarberget,
Njurunda). I always played tennis." Also played soccer growing up in
Sweden.
Why he chose hockey over soccer: "I'm from up north
in Sweden and hockey is bigger up there than soccer, so it was an
easy choice," says Zetterberg.
Cars: Porsche, but he drives an SUV (BMW X5) also has a BMW
M5.
Music: "Some days I listen to a lot of Swedish music. Lars Winnerbäck is one and
Ulf Lundell is another.
But I like all kinds of music, so it’s tough for me to point out one
that I really listen to. Right now before I go down to the game in
my car I listen to a lot of Bob Dylan music, that’s kind of what
it’s been lately." -January 2008
Childhood Idols: Wayne
Gretzky and Mats Sundin.
