F Viggo Björck - IFK Täby HC J18, J18 Region (2026 Draft)

[VictorLustig]

So he was involved in all but 3 goals. That cant be a bad thing.
How good can he be? I realy a miss Forsberg level of player.

Let’s wait until he plays at least at the J20 level. He’s probably already a very good J20 player, will likely dominate next season as a 16 year old. But who knows?

Starts the U18 playoffs with a hatty.

Damn, I really hope the Swedish management have the balls to select him for the U18 worlds. But considering how many good 07's there are also in the mix, it does not seem likely.

Only once has a double underager been selected to represent Sweden at the U18 Worlds. Robert Nilsson back in 2001. He scored 2 goals in 6 games. Then again, Nilsson completely destroyed J20 SuperElit at age 15. Has to be the best prospects we ever had at that level?!

I don’t think Björck would look out of place in a smaller role. He works just as hard in his own zone, good on the PK etc. Seems like a mature kid as well (when was the last time we saw a 15 year old captain in J18? Landeskog?).

He’ll go up against the top 17 year olds in the J18 playoffs, would not be surprised if he outplays a bunch of them. He has clearly raised his game the last few months, looks stronger and faster.

Superlöftet: ”Det har blivit lite överdrivet”

TÄBY. Han stod för en av de mest framstående prestationerna i TV-pucken och har dominerat med de äldre grabbarna i landslaget. Men det som sticker ut mest hos V

www.aftonbladet.se

A lengthy interview with him, says he notices that people write about him and his accomplishments and says it has become a little excessive, even if it's fun.

Tries to downplay his accomplishments, wants to be a two-way center, and his primary objective is winning (says you sleep better after a win, after all). His idols in the NHL are Crosby & McDavid.

Täby J18's coach on Viggo:

Humble, hard working, and very determined. Has many fine qualities to his game, such as his head for the game, smartness, good shot, fine leader qualities, and has an edge to compete harder than his teammates. Gives himself the chance to succeed every day, through his curiosity, particularity, and love for the sport.

Sweden's U17 NT coach:

Viggo is extremely talented, his understanding for the game is his hallmark! Fantastic as a person, humble and coachable with amazing willingness to practice/train. Even if he scores a ton of points he's as good without the puck. That's why I've selected him to the U17 NT.

He reads the thread I created???

Viggo means battle. Nickname "Viggen" and wear nr 37 in NHL?
I think Viggo i good on its own.
Having that leadership mentality and this skills is usually a good sign.
Before 2026 a lot can happen.

Let's hope he won't play in Germany with a nickname like Viggen.

 

[Ovechkin962]

Is he going to the J20 Nationell next season and if so, with which team?

Yes, Djurgården.

At work so i cant google that... what does it rhyme on

It's rather similar in pronunciation to the German word "ficken".

 

[Hammer Slammer]

I put together an extended highlight video of him from last season. Can't wait to see what he brings to Djurgardens this season.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

How does he compare to Frondell?

 

[Sasso09]

How does he compare to Frondell?

Imo, better overall by a good amount.

Frondell has him beat 2way wise but Viggo has superstar top 10 forward potential offensive ability if he stays the same course projection wise.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I could've been expecting too much, but he didn't look like draft competition for McKenna from the Hlinka, and it wasn't like McKenna play there was great either, yet still a different caliber from Bjorck.

Yeah but I do think as a true 2008, he gets some slack. He will get better as he gets stronger, even if he always is a bit shorter. He will still be at next year Hlinka, which he should be at the top of the charts.

Shame we couldn’t see Frondell. As slick as Bjorck is…Frondell is turning into an absolute brick sh!thouse physically which makes me wonder, despite the glowing reports, if Bjorck will actually be an even better NHL prospect.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

4pts in 2 games in J20 Nationell, getting PP1 time.

i watched the games myself...Mckenna is really a year older in hockey start time since he is a late bday...i found the games i saw Bjorck in he was timid but I think this year in the J20 league will get his confidence going...he is smaller but he has a lot of time to grow before any NHL draft which is 2 years away. I personally like Bjorck, im not sure he will be Mckenna territory or not but imo he will be pretty damn good.

Hope he's in the Carlsson tier.. that is not too much to ask tbh
