Of what I have read his mother is Finnish and Father Iranian. He speaks both languages plus Swedish and English. He played for Ottawa Senators some months but he is back in Swedish league playing for one of he Stockholm teams. I posted a news about him a month ago on Iranian, just when he was playing on Senators.
