Han är sexton, men bra som sjutton. Nu får Anton Frondell mäta sig med de stora grabbarna. – Jag känner stor tacksamhet, säger Djurgårdens nya stjärnskott.

An interview. He starts by asking if the interviewer has time to wait, as you don't often get free ice time (everybody but him, L.Eriksson, & Eklund had left practice already).
On Djurgården scoring a goal 7 seconds into his first shift (where he acted as the net front presence): "I got a clear message from Brodin to take a fight in front of the goal. Then I was very close to getting the puck on me."
On Fredrik Söderström (previously HC for a few teams, and acting as a TV commentator expert rn) saying Frondell looks poised as a 37 year old: "Haha, I've missed that. Fun. I'm not as strong as them, but I feel I can handle the game. I played a lot last game and it felt good. I feel strong, even if the ones I'm going up against are still bigger and stronger."
Doesn't know his own height, last time (a long time ago) he measured was around 184cm.
Comes from a Tennis family, but was quite shy when he was younger, so his dad put him on the rink, and there he has stayed.
Djurgården's HC on him: "A very exciting player who is very all-round in his game. I think he has good size, smarts, and skills. He can create for others, but also is a really good threat himself. A real exciting player we have in our system."
His best advice to young guys and gals who wants to become good at hockey: "To always come to practices and games to do your best. Always go in and have fun and take it all in, as it's the most fun thing there is."
Missing classes when he's practicing with the men's team, but wants to make a point in that he'll catch up on what he misses and that school is important.
Asked for a Swedish '07 to praise and that he has been impressed by he chose Ekberg.
There's more in the interview, mainly showing him being humble & down to earth.
