Simon Kjellberg ends his career - 23 years old
He is an NHL draftee and had a successful time in the NCAA. Despite that, Simon Kjellberg now chooses to end his ice hockey career - aged 23. This is confirmed by the player's agent for Hockeysverige.se.
Simon Kjellberg from Falun was a great talent in Sweden's 00 generation. The defender was in the national team several times during his junior years and was also successful in Rögle's J20 team.
Something that meant that in the summer of 2018 he was chosen by the New York Rangers as player number 163 in the NHL draft.
Instead of investing directly in the NHL, however, the talent chose to spend four years in the NCAA. There, the result was 52 points in 107 games.
Betting civilly
Now it is clear that it was also the last thing Simon Kjellberg did in his ice hockey career. The defender now chooses to focus on a civilian career, confirms the player's agent for Hockeysverige.se.
During his career there were two bronze medals in the TV puck and 13 appearances in the junior national team. Father Patric Kjellberg has previously had a successful career playing in the NHL and has also won two WC and one Olympic gold with Tre Kronor. Little brother Joel (born 2004) will next season follow the same path as big brother and play in the NCAA..
