2023 Team Sweden World under 17 Hockey Challenge roster talk

[hockeyprospects9]

The tournament is set to be played during 2-11 november and so the roster should be announced within a couple of days. Last year it was announced on the 20th.

It'll be interesting to see how the roster shapes up and how they'll stand against American and Canadian competition.

These would be my preferred lines:

Novotny - Frondell - Ihs Wozniak
Ekberg - Gästrin - Klingsell
Stenberg - Hillström - Jennersjö
Genborg - Nilson - Drott
Sonestedt

Lindgren - Annborn
Sjöström - Boumedienne
Dahlqvist - Wahlund
Häggblad

Goos
Sörqvist/Forsberg

Yeah i also look forward too see how they play vs NA players, hope the tournament will be streamed.

My top 6 is similar like u:

Novotny - Frondell - Ihs Wozniak
Ekberg - Gästrin - Klingsell
Stenberg - Nilson - Morin
Andersson - Drott - Larsson

Sjöström - Annborn
Boumedienne - Dahlqvist
Wahlund - Lindgren
Funck

Goos

Stacked team imo, and seems like we have a great coach. This year i can see us win atleast bronze.

 

[theslatcher]

Think the top 6 is pretty set in stone. After Stenberg & Nilson it can go several directions:

Novotny - Frondell - Ihs Wozniak
Ekberg - Gästrin - Klingsell
Stenberg - Nilson - Drott
Larsson - Hillström - Jennersjö

Sjöström - Boumedienne
Lindgren - Annborn
Wahlund - Dahlqvist

Forsberg

Nilson should be 3C

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Nilson should be 3C

I just like Hillström more, and I don’t think Nilson should be playing J20 already. It’s taken a toll on him and he’s looked a little more out of place for each game. Now that most of Örebro’s lineup is back, he should be sticking in J18. Though, Nilson and Hillström are pretty much interchangeable to me, so as long as both are on the team I’ll have it either way.

Roster's out.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Kinda expected roster, no? I thought Zeb Lindgren would nab a D-spot tho.

Yup, only glaring omission really is Zeb.

 

[erikhamren]

Novotny - Frondell - Ihs Wozniak
Ekberg - Gästrin - Klingsell
Stenberg - Nilson - Hillström
Jennersjö - Genborg - Morin
Skarby

Boumedienne - Annborn
Dahlqvist - Sjöström
Wahlund - Håkansson
Hallin

Sörqvist

Yep, i love speculating lines.. i dont know why. Like theslatcher said, the top 6 is set in stone, it should be atleast. I hope Ekberg and Frondell steps up and show that they are high end prospects.

Great to see Sjöström back too btw

 

[hockeyprospects9]

I would've preferred to have Drott over Morin, but I like Morin either way and he'll definetly bring some appreciated intensity.

Like previously mentioned, fairly forseen roster and for good reason.

For the bottom 6 lines I'm pretty much clueless to how they'll shape it. The only bet I'm willing to make is that Morin will be RW 4

 

[Predatore]

One of the strongest U17 teams Sweden has nominated in recent years, despite missing the No 1 goalie. Should be a fun tourney. Anyone heard how long Härenstam is out?

Supposed to be out until mid-October. So should be back soon.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Albin Laksonen injured?

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Albin Laksonen injured?

Yes, however not sure what kind of injury

 

[ThunderStrike]

Albin Laksonen injured?

He's got a meniscus injury, but he's had surgery and rehab and is training and skating a bit the last few days.

He has just started to train lightly on ice, but is at least a month away.

Me too. Some of us just like it.

Whats the deal with Ivar Stenberg btw, is he same type of player as his brother?

Nice too see im not alone about that

Ye i havent seen Ivar play but his stats in J18 is decent. 21 points in 10 games.

 

[Predatore]

Ivar strikes me as more of a playmaker than Otto. Hockey sense probably better than his bro, but Otto has a nice release and a different intensity in his game.

Ivar grew an insane amount this past year. So, physically he has been behind his peers a while. Interesting to see if he’ll end up being among the very best among his (swe) peers like Otto.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Unrelated to the WHC-17, Albin Laksonen is playing his first game back from injury today.
