Playing career
Following the 2022–23 season, helping Växjö Lakers to claim their second Le Mat Trophy in three years,[1] Häman Aktell as an unsigned free agent from the Nashville Predators was signed to a one-year, entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals on April 27, 2023.[2]
During the 2023–24 season, Häman Aktell was recalled and made his NHL debut on October 21, 2023. He registered 1 assist through 6 appearances with the Capitals before returning to the Hershey Bears. On June 24, 2024, he won the Calder Cup with the Bears, Washington's primary affiliate.[3]
Continuing his tenure with the Hershey Bears in the 2024–25 season, Häman Aktell registered 9 assists through 27 games on the blueline. Unable to climb the depth chart within the Capitals organization, Häman Aktell was placed on unconditional waivers and was mutually released from the remainder of his contract on 1 February 2025.[4] Returning to Europe, Häman Aktell was promptly signed to a three-year contract in joining Swiss based club, SC Bern of the NL, on 4 February 2025.[5]
