Simon Önerud (born June 16, 1988) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with HV71 in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). He has formerly played with Timrå IK and Modo Hockey in the SHL.[1]
In the 2016–17 season, Önerud was amongst the team's leaders in offense. He contributed with 29 points in 37 games and 13 points in 16 post-season games to help lead HV71 to their 5th Le Mat Trophy. He was awarded with the Stefan Liv Memorial Trophy as the league's MVP in the post-season. A week after claiming the Championship, Önerud opted for a release from his contract with HV71 to become a free agent in order to pursue a new challenge in the KHL.[2] On May 26, 2017, Önerud was announced to be the final foreign signing for HC Sochi on a one-year agreement.[3]
After spending the 2017–18 season in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), split between HC Sochi and HC Sibir Novosibirsk, Önerud returned to the SHL, rejoining HV71, on a three-year contract on May 18, 2018.[4]
