Fredrik Norrena

Fredrik Jan Elis Norrena[1] (born November 29, 1973) is a Finnish former professional ice hockey goaltender.

Norrena made his NHL debut on October 14 against the Minnesota Wild, stepping in to replace Pascal Leclaire in the second period.

He served as the backup to Columbus' number one goaltender, Pascal Leclaire, for two seasons until 2008–09, when Steve Mason was called up from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League (AHL).

On December 20, Norrena signed with Ak Bars Kazan of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) for the rest of the season.

After his tenure in Russia, he signed a two-year contract with his former team Linköpings HC in Sweden, a club where he had three very successful years between 2003 and 2006.
