[Albatros]

Ancestry doesn't grant eligibility.

His has been anglicized.

Feel free to name a standout offensive tool then? All I see is you mentioning points and things that are apparently extremely rare.

You can of course double-check the facts if you want. There is however nothing "apparently" about them.

I have nowhere near enough knowledge (these days) about other prospects internationally to rate him in that sense. I do know this though, players don't score at his pace at this age by accident. From what I have seen, he knows where to be on the ice and when (hockey sense), he handles the puck well and can shoot the puck very accurate. On top of that, he has a nice fram to grow into and, while not slow now, he will probably be faster in a few years when he finished growing into his body. In terms of balance and skating technique, he is fine already.

Does it make a top ten pick next year or a first round pick? Again, I don't know. However, looking at things historically, it is more likely than not.

 

[Eye of Ra]

he says his mother is swedish and he speaks fluent swedish, born in australia but moved to sweden at age 2,

he is good enough for u18 wjc already

 

[sr edler]

Anyone know the "Ihs" part if his name is pronounced?

Ease.

 

[theslatcher]

Playing center today, will be interesting to see if he sticks, feels like he could.

 

[Celebrini71]

Good Comp?

 

[shadow44]

Good Comp?

Mats Sundin.

 

[theslatcher]

Looks like he's indeed sticking at C. Leading J20 Top 10 in scoring right now, too.

 

[theslatcher]

Making his SHL debut today, shockingly not as the 13F. Bullan hit his head?

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Quite sloppy so far

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Could he play for Poland if he’s not good enough for Sweden?

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Could he play for Poland if he’s not good enough for Sweden?

Why Poland?

 

[Preds666]

Why Poland?

Probably asking because of his Polish surname Wozniak.

But dad is from Adelaide and mother is from Luleå. So, whatever Polish ancestry there is.. it's most likely not relevant.

 

[theslatcher]

Could he play for Poland if he’s not good enough for Sweden?

Hypothetically if he was much, much worse he could if he moved to Poland, acquired a Polish citizenship, and played in Poland for two years. But the same goes for literally every other country.

Yeah, this is what I was asking about.

 

[theslatcher]

Hatty and an apple in his second game for the U18 NT.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Was just flung over the boards, looked like he might’ve injured his wrist, hope it’s nothing serious.

I gather it might have been a dislocated shoulder.

I gather it might have been a dislocated shoulder.

So it seems.

Löftet efter kraschen – i hemmadebuten: "Jag fick lite panik"

Första hemmamatchen i SHL fick ett tråkigt slut för Jakob Ihs Wozniak, som tvingades kliva av efter att ha blivit intacklad i Oskarshamns bås av Hugo Jonasson. "Jag fick lite panik, för jag har aldrig upplevt den där känslan förut", säger Luleåforwarden.

Dislocated shoulder, will rehab, will be gone a few weeks. TBA how bad it truly is but doesn't sound too bad.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

He’s back!

 

[theslatcher]

Picked it up where he left off with 3+1 in the 2 final J20 games before playoffs.

And with that he sets a new U17 record with 1 more point than Raymond in 1 less game.
