Hans Lennart Häggroth (2 March 1940 – 28 August 2016) was a Swedish ice hockey goaltender. He won a world and European titles in 1962, finishing second at the 1963 World Championships and 1964 Olympics.
Häggroth was a back-up for Kjell Svensson, and hence capped only 65 times for the national team between 1960 and 1965. Before the 1962 World Championships, Svensson got injured, but Häggroth did fine, helping win the tournament and becoming its best goaltender. After retiring from hockey Häggroth became a social worker, helping drug addicts and alcoholics.[1] He died on 28 August 2016 at his home.
