About this listen

She’s been quiet online, but on the ice, Akane Shiga continues to cement her reputation as one of the most dynamic players in the SDHL. Just this weekend, Shiga suited up for Luleå in a much-anticipated clash against league-leading Frölunda HC. The game, held at Frölundaborg, was billed as a preview of potential playoff drama—and it didn’t disappoint. Shiga registered an assist on Inez Nygren’s second-period goal, providing one of Luleå’s few bright spots in a 3–1 loss. While the result snapped Luleå’s six-game win streak, Shiga’s consistent playmaking remains a storyline to watch as the season heats up, according to HockeySverige. The loss dropped Luleå’s recent record to four wins and just one loss in their last five, with Shiga’s line clicking even when the team stumbles. HockeySverige detailed how Shiga’s chemistry with Nadia Mattivi and Inez Nygren was evident throughout the match, a trio that’s been key to Luleå’s early success this season.

Off the ice, Shiga hasn’t made any public appearances or social media splashes in recent days—no interviews, charity events, or viral posts that would hint at a shift in her off-season personal brand. Her Instagram, typically a mix of game action and casual lifestyle shots, has been inactive for nearly a week, suggesting she’s keeping a laser focus on hockey as the SDHL season ramps up. There’s no word of new endorsement deals or business ventures involving Shiga right now, though her profile in Sweden—bolstered by her Olympic pedigree and highlight-reel technical skill—makes her a natural for future partnerships. For now, the business of Akane Shiga is hockey, pure and simple.

Looking ahead, Luleå faces Färjestad BK at home on October 17. All eyes will be on whether Shiga can help her team bounce back and close the gap on Frölunda HC in the standings. No major injuries or controversies involving her have surfaced—just the kind of steady, elite play that’s becoming her trademark.
