Elias Pettersson Claims Wall Street Could’ve Been His Backup Plan
Vancouver Canucks star forward Elias Pettersson, who has earned an impressive $11.6 million over his eight-season NHL career, is making waves off the ice with a surprising statement — he believes he could have made just as much money, if not more, as a Wall Street investor.
The 26-year-old Swedish playmaker, known for his elite vision, sharp hockey instincts, and clutch scoring, revealed that he’s always had a passion for investing, market trends, and financial strategy. Pettersson noted the similarities between hockey and finance, saying both require smart decision-making, patience, and the ability to read situations quickly.
“I’ve always followed the markets. It’s something that excites me — not just playing hockey, but making smart moves off the ice,” Pettersson shared in a recent interview. “Honestly, I think if I wasn’t doing this, I could’ve done really well in the investment world.”
Though fans know Pettersson for his highlight-reel plays and leadership on the Canucks roster, few realized the financial mind behind the jersey. According to sources close to the player, he’s actively involved in his own investments and spends his downtime reading economic forecasts and financial reports.
Pettersson’s comments come at a time when more athletes are emphasizing financial literacy and planning for life after sports. With endorsements, salary negotiations, and long-term wealth planning on the minds of today’s players, Pettersson’s dual interest in hockey and high finance shows he’s thinking beyond the game.
Still, the Canucks’ star has no plans to trade his stick for a stock portfolio just yet. He remains committed to bringing a Stanley Cup to Vancouver and continuing to build on what has already been a stellar NHL career.
From NHL superstar to potential Wall Street wizard, Elias Pettersson continues to impress — both on the ice and behind the scenes.
