Victor Östman (born 3 October 2000) is a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender for the Coachella Valley Firebirds of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League (NHL). He had a four-year tenure with the Maine Black Bears' ice hockey team of Hockey East before signing with the Kraken and joining the Firebirds.
Östman played hockey in Sweden with HV71's SuperElit junior team, as well as some stints with their Swedish Hockey League (SHL) team.
Following three seasons with HV71, Östman opted to play in America, joining the Chicago Steel of the United States Hockey League (USHL) for the 2019–20 season. He said that the USHL is "a few levels better" than the SuperElit league.[1] During the season, he maintained a 2.34 goals against average (GAA) and a .913 save percentage.[2]
Following one season in the USHL, Östman committed to the University of Maine's hockey team, the Black Bears.[3] In his freshman year, he achieved a 3–6–1 record, managing a 3.77 GAA and a .902 save percentage.
On 3 April 2024, the Seattle Kraken signed Östman to a two-year, entry-level contract.[4] On 8 April 2024, before joining the Kraken's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, he was named the Outstanding Graduating International Student by the Maine Business School.[5]
Östman was born to parents Helene and Lars. In his free time, Östman enjoys golf and padel tennis.[6]
