U18: Sweden 2025 U18 Team

[theslatcher]

The 07's are finally here with a sprinkle of an 08. And Paananen is here along with them. A lot to get excited about.

RDS and TNS will provide full coverage of the Hlnika tourney, so if something doesnt go wrong we should be able to see our games. Maybe Svenskhockey gets the rights too.. Btw if anyone want i have found a site where you can see many many different streaming sites links. Both sports, movies and tv-channels.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Uhhhhh, Frondell is out again. No Ivan Hlinka.

Hope he's not injured again.. maybe Hävelid wants him with the U20, Plymouth will be played at the same time as Hlinka. As long he's not injured it fine, though i really want to see him in the NT shirt. Been a whole year since ffs.

Here's hoping. The decision to not have him on the U20 team to start with is dumb, he's quite easily the best U19 player Sweden has.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Been waiting for these news for a while now, it was a clear giveaway when he didn’t participate in either Djurgårdens floorball games nor the CAA Hockey camp in LA. Unfortunate.

 

[erikhamren]

Still no update on U20 team, so i guess he wont be going there neither. If this all is related to his injury is for the best that he pass NT call ups for this time. Best for him to recover and relax until the season starts in 1 half months.

Klingsell - Gästrin - Ihs-Wozniak
Ekberg - Björck - Drott
Stenberg - Nilson - Novotny
Jennersjö - Anderberg - Laksonen

Sjöström - Boumedienne
Hallin - Annborn
Håkansson - Funck
Bröngel-Larsson

Härenstam

Will update it when the final roster is out but this team is stacked and should have a good chance to win it all

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Frondell doing skill drills in full gear it seems

[hockeyprospects9]

Almost like it's the team (yellow) against the wildcards (blue) with imo just a handfull exceptions.

Where'd you get this from?

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Gästrin very impressive in game 1, motm for me.

Annborn not selected is a suprise

 

[Draftin Europe]

A guess on the lineup, given Frondell and Annborn absences

I think they keep the top 9 from camp team yellow intact, so your lineup with Björck alongside JIW & Skarby the top line.

was hoping to see updated height/weight by Swehockey when they published their roster/PDF, but some of these values are really old (or the same as before the camp/testing etc). Hmmz.

 

[Preds666]

I was looking at the depth of the Swedish 07's, which is pretty impressive IMO. So, players not on this team (I probably forgot a handful)

A pretty damn strong B team could have been formed using all rejects

 

[fan1977]

Any tips on how to see the Hlinka matches (swedens matches ). TSN seems only available within Canada.

 

[theslatcher]

Novotny's heading to Canada to join the team. Skarby didn't play vs Slovakia so might be related.

 

[Preds666]

Starting to think that Axel Brøngel-Larsson may be a better prospect than I give him credit for. No one has really talked/raved about him before, but looks much more than a depth guy and plays with the kind of authority you see from leading defensemen. Will follow his progress closely this season.

Malte Vass was giving me some Gabriel Eliasson vibes vs Slovakia, although a much better skater.

***
Adding Novotny to the team means some additional creativity. He was, however, pretty mediocre last season with the u17 NT, so here’s hoping he has improved.

 

[thrillhous]

Can someone explain to me why Klingsell spent the majority of the season in U18 instead of U20? It is puzzling to me so there must be some nuance that I’m missing? I don’t ever recall a projected first round prospect playing anything but U20 or SHL or Allsvenskan.

While he certainly was good enough for full time U20 play (most of the U17 national team players last season would have been), Skellefteå had a pretty deep team, so he would not see any top line duty, little time on special teams etc. So, I am guessing they kept him mostly with the U18 team... giving him tons of ice-time and having a leading role.
