Having started to take a look at the potential norwegian roster this year. The tournament u20 Div 1A, world junior will be played in Bled Slovenia from 9-15 December, the winner will be promoted and the loser demoted, six teams tournament. I think we can build a team that will compete for promotion around Stian Solberg and Michael Brandsegg Nygård.

Here is a list of potential players in the roster. Stian Solberg and Michael Brandsegg Nygård, my guess is that they'll play if they are in SHL and injury free. The team looks deeper on backs than last years team with two drafted backs and a good group from the swedish j20 and a player in USHL.

Forwards not as many goalscorers as last years team, but with two young potential picks in the draft with Mikkel Eriksen and Niklas Aaram Olsen(Aaaram Olsen is listed top prospect on eliteprospec, 2026 draft.)

Still an open question if Michael Brandsegg Nygård will be in the roster though. It will be either NHL, AHL or SHL for him. If he stays in America he want play for us. He is close to Detroit's final roster, only one cut left and the last pre season game this weekend against Toronto Maple Leafs. Steve Yzerman will take the decision soon.

Scored a fine goal against Buffalo. It has gone better than many excpected in the pre-season.


If he is this close to the final Detroit roster, it might be America for him being just a phone call away from NHL.

U20-Team Norway, 4-nations tournamaent, St.Pölten, AUT, 5.-10.November, 2024.
Playing against Latvia, Denmark and Austria.

Michael Brandsegg-Nygård and Stian Solberg not in the roster, they'll be focusing on SHL, and will join the final u20 roster in December.

Our USA based players are also not in this roster. Christopher Lie(back) and Philip Mønnich Hagen backs in NCAA and USHL. And Martin Holtet Lundberg (goalkeeper) in NCAA. Aleksander Bjørck who plays in NCDC could also have a chanche.

I think those five mentioned over will be in the final roster.

Roster St.Pölten, AUT, 5.-10.November, 2024. vs. Denmark, Austria and Latvia.

Second place in the pre tournament. 4-4 against Denmark and a loss in OT in the final game. 5-3 win against Latvia. 3-2 loss against Austria in shootout. Latvia will have tough task in the elite wjc, being the weakest team here against div 1a teams.

Table St Pölten tournament Austria.

Denmark 5 points.
Norway 5 points.
Austria 4 points
Latvia 4 points.

I think Norway will have more reinforcements to bring in to the WC div 1a in Slovenia than Denmark, our two "stars" Stian Solberg and Michael Brandsegg Nygård will hopefully be there. Same thing with our three to four players based in USA in USHL and NCAA. The danes will have Fisker Mølgaard in.

Alieu Bah had a fine tournament, nice to see that we develop good hockey players with immigrant background, Felix Granath also played well. I'd expected more production from Vatne and Eriksen, hopefully they can step up in the tournament div 1a in December,

Interesting prospect for sure. In his second year for Brynäs U20. Maybe Allsvenskan chould be an alternative for him next season? Alternative: play one or two years in EHL and then head back to Sweden.

He will be in the final roster for our team in U20 Div1A in December.

Norway's roster for the pre-camp in Budapest, Hungary. 2nd to 7 th December.

U20-VM nærmer seg

Two pre camp games are planned in Budapest.

4.12: Hungary-Norway.
6.12: Slovenia-Norway.

Our #1 round drafts from 2024 are in the roster. Stian Solberg and Michael Brandsegg-Nygård. We also note that three players from North American leagues are in the roster since the last tournament in Austria without NA based players and SHL players.

They'll likely cut one back and one forward for the final Tournament team in Bled, Slovenia. WC junior div 1A will be played from 9th to 15th December.
