F Anton Frondell - Djurgårdens IF U16, U16 Div.1 (2025 Draft)

[hockeyprospects9]

Just ran a post, left the game and didn't place any pressure on his left leg. Anyone have updates?

 

[Garl]

Both Frondell and JIW? What a lucky month!

 

[VictorLustig]

Ouch, after watching the replay I think we can pretty safely say his season is over. Looked very bad. Hope I’m wrong.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Hoping it’s not to serious. He’s emerging as Hagens’ only real challenger

Aah ffs

Any updates?

Still waiting for the test results. We will probably get a injury update very soon.

Any updates?

Someone said in another thread he’ll be available for U18 Worlds.

Foot injury, Djurgården's coach hopes they they can go far in the playoffs so he can play. Sounds like depending on how the playoffs shake out he'll be with DIF over the U18s.

Missed the rest of the season, working on his skating now with Erik Willander (Tom's dad).

Flyers fan just starting to follow the 2025 draft group. How does he compare to Carlsson at the same age? This guy is getting a lot of love and Carlsson has been the best Swede I've seen in a good while (probably since Pettersson at least)

 

[MMC]

Where would you guys take Frondell in 2024?

 

[hockeyprospects9]

If the draft was today I’d probably pick him third behind Martone and Hagens.

 

[Pazucha]

He looks pretty tall in some of the videos but according to EP he only has 183cm? Outdated info?

I think he's 184 cm

These kids have not been measured in a long time. We should see new height/weight come Ivan Hlinka I hope.

On the camp selection for Hlinka he is listed as 184 cm 89 kg.

Saw him in person quite recently. He’s pretty big for his age and height. 6’0-6’1 looks about right I’d say.

Put together a shift by shift from early February in the J20 league

Put together a shift by shift from early February in the J20 league

first viewing of the player, was a fun game to watch! good, structured hockey. Lots of great passing.

• First thing that sticks out is Frondell has a high motor combined with a long, powerful, yet not slow stride that gets him around the ice very well. He is active on the puck, active in his D responsibilities, active in puck support, very much around the play and tuned in. Liked to see that.
• They seemed to line him up all over the ice, there were shifts he looked like he was playing C in the DZ, mostly RW, but a handful of shifts he was LW. He looked comfortable in all those positions.
• Most decisions he made on or off the puck seemed to me to be good decisions. Carrying aggressively through the neutral zone when he should, smart chips up the board or headman passes to teammates for the breakout, work on the cycle, powerplay passes or manipulating space and defenders with his head up. Led to one goal.
• Hard to really tell how high level of play J20 is except to say it was smart hockey and Frondell stood out for playing very well in the system and driving the system. Seemed to move and play like a pro and stood out for size/speed despite only being listed at 6'0", I guess.

I love how they put one name on a second page. Maybe make the font a little smaller, and you can fit every player on one page.

Listed at 6'0", but he looks 6'1"/6'2" on tape. Must have grown an inch or two since measurement.

Ryabkin is also listed as 6'0" and looks like it on the ice.

Blame the imperial system, look at how tall they are in cm instead, there's been players getting rounded up and rounded down in inches to the point where they have around 5cm between them but are listed at the same height in imperial.

But as mentioned above; Frondell has been filling out his frame, which helps him look big.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Between him, Ryabkin, Misa and Hagens, the 2025 draft is looking super strong at the centre position.
