Dahler: Midway through the season, what stands out most about this team and locker room?

Dahler: This team has a lot of nicknames. Do you have a favorite nickname?
Boqvist: A Bo and J Bo. I like those two.
Dahler: How have you adapted to life in Florida, and what impresses you most about living in South Florida?
Boqvist: Everything feels very modest. Everyone here loves it. If you think about things like the weather, you can see why. It was a lot of fun.
Dahler: Did anything turn out differently than you expected?
BOQVIST: I thought there would be less traffic (lol). It’s not strange, but I thought it would be less.
Dahler: What do you like to do outside of hockey?
Boqvist: I have two dogs at home. I play with my fiance, my brother, and my friends. I started playing golf and watching sports a few years ago.
Dahler: What is your favorite Swedish dish?
Boqvist: That’s a good question. Of course you want to eat meatballs, right? So I think so.
Dahler: If you weren’t playing hockey, what job would you like to do?
Boqvist: I’m a painter with my father.
Dahler: Do you have a favorite or dream vacation?
Boqvist: My favorite so far has been the Maldives, those places were amazing.
Darla: What is your favorite genre of music?
BOQVIST: I grew up listening to a lot of house and EDM. It might look like Afro House now.
Dahler: If you were to create your own festival, what would it be and who would headline it?
Boqvist: It’ll probably be house, and the headliners will be Swedish House Mafia.
Dahler: Is there a story behind why you wore number 70?
Boqvist: In Sweden there were nine. An older player came to the team and scored 9 points, so I scored 90 points. I scored 90 points in Jersey, but then (Tomas) Tatar came. There weren’t many to choose from, so my mom and I actually picked 70.
