The younger brother of 2023 high-end Swedish talent Otto Stenberg looks to also be a promising player going forward. Put up impressive totals in the Swedish u16 regional league as a 14-year-old.

He’s put in a full year and no update on him. Anyone have information on him?

He’s got great skill and has produced very well this pre-season. He is undersized and lacks a bit of intensity. Sees the game very well.

Do you think he’s looking like a better or worse player than Otto?

Worse at this stage, but if he grows and puts it all together I think he could maybe reach a similar level.

Natural hat-trick in only 9:49 vs. Canada Red. Wild stuff

J20 debut today, and first point to go along with it.

And now first goal, too!

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Really like this player! Has improved a lot since last year.

I saw Ivar Stenberg & Max Westergård dominate the U18 playoff game against Färjestad a couple of weeks ago. Shit, they are good... Ivar can do pretty much anything he want on the same level he play. I think his potential as of right now is greater than his older brother, Otto. Otto is an awesome player though.

 

[BKarchitect]

Finished with 4 goals and 10 points at Hlinka while not draft eligible until 2026. Ironically, almost identical to how his brother performed at Hlinka two years prior, though that Otto was draft eligible that next spring.

If Ivar is basically Otto with a bit more offensive upside, he sure seems like a pretty safe bet to be a first rounder in 2026.

 

[Preds666]

Lots of skill like his brother. Probably slightly better hockey sense, while Otto is a better finisher (yet to show it among men).

Hearing that the third brother, Knut Stenberg, is a quite spectacular offensive defenseman. 09-born.

Yeah Ivar is a bit more advanced in his puck handling skills and playmaking. Otto is more powerful and has a better shot. They both have excellent compete level, I think that separates them from a lot of other prospects.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Sweden could be stacked in 2026 with Viggo, Ivar, and Elton.

I think the sky is the limit for this player. I have always been a fan of Otto, but I love Ivars game. Still early, but he is number 2 amongst the 07s for me right now, even though he is not eligible until 2026. At this point I think he is significantly ahead of the "bigger names" we have been hyping up in this age group.

How does he compare to William Eklund this far out from his draft? That is the player that comes to mind when the Swedes discuss Ivar.

Offensively Stenberg is definitely ahead, but I did slightly underate Eklund at the same age, because I did not see him transition so well into the SHL in his draft year as he did. Eklunds game, while less impressive in some aspects, is a lot more easy to predict(although in retrospect for me apparently) when it comes to projecting for the pros. He mixed in center and was slightly more well rounded. But he also improved quickly(just like I think Victor Eklund had a big jump last season) the closer to the draft he got. So I prefer Ivar Stenberg, but theres reasons I could be off with that, and could change.

Will be interesting to see if he keeps smacking the j20s, and how many games and how much ice he might get to see at the SHL level later in the year, since that is always a lottery of misfortune when it comes to swedish prospects.
