I've seen several articles in the past week about two of my all-time favorite Norwegian footballers, Henning Berg and Hege Riise, receiving the "Kniksens hederspris" and would appreciate it if someone could explain to me the significance of this award. I have done several "google" searches and haven't been able to find any information about this award in English (Sorry if this award was already mentioned in another thread.) .
Here is a link to one of the articles that was is the Romerikes Blad:

And here is the link to another article that has a very nice picture of Henning and Hege:

From what I can understand of this article, Hege is definitely planning to play one more season for Team Strømmen. According to Hege her trophy case isn't quite full yet and she still has the "football dream" of winning a Toppserien medal playing for Team Strømmen this coming season.
It also looks like the 2005 season will be her last. I just have to wonder though that if the first two months of the league season go extremely well for Hege there might be some small chance that she could be persuaded to come out of retirement and play one final time for the Norwegian National Team in this summer's European Championships?
:kjempekult:
This article also mentions something about Hege being from Momoen. I always thought she was from Lørenskog and was wondering if Momoens is a district in Lørenskog?
På forhånd takk for hjelpen!
