Get to know Team Sweden - Hugo Leufvenius

Hugo Leufvenius - Sarnia Sting (OHL)

Originally from Stockholm, the 193cm/ 6ft 3" tall forward has played junior hockey for Djurgården IF and Linköping HC. But it was at the Östergötland club then aged only 17 that he had a taste of SHL and CHL action. Having played international hockey for Sweden at every junior level, he caught the attention of Sarina Sting in the OHL where he is now playing his second season. The 19 year old is thriving and is developing a consistency of points production that he has alluded him whilst in Sweden. Last year he was the highest scoring Swede in the league and this year he is the top scoring European in 17th place on Total Points with a 0.84 PPG. Currently undrafted, his size and effectiveness mean that will surely change if he is able to maintain that position at the end of the season.
