Denmark: Danish Prospects

[Valdemar]

Wouldn't it be safe to say that Jonas Røndbjerg IS the top prospect for 1999. What he has done so far is really promising.....
Real shame for Christian Gade, hope he recovers fast. Rungsted really has a good crop coming up

Yes, I agree, even though it is a birthyear with very good prospects, he seems a little above the rest of the best.

I have read an article about the 2 Rønbjerg hockey brothers. Here is a link.

This is what Jesper Schultz, Central Scouting (a person with huge hockey/NHL knowledge) said about Jonas in the article:

"Jonas er absolut en spiller, som kan havne i NHL klubbernes søgelys, hvis han fortsætter med at udvikle sig som hidtil og holder fast i den positive og meget modtagelige indstilling, som han viser til ishockeyen. Han har en fantastisk hånd-til-øje koordination, som gør ham usædvanlig målfarlig, og når man kobler dette på både stærke playmakerevner, et ganske godt skøjteløb og denne åbenhed til at lytte og gøre som træneren fortæller ham, så kan man altså nå rigtigt langt."

Main points translated to english:

Fantastic hand-to-eye coordination which makes him an unusual dangerous sniper
Very good as a playmaker and a good skater
He has a receptive attitude and willingness to learn

Thanks for this report Valdemar!
So they do already talk about possible NHL potential
Yep it sounds quite promising!

Alexander True and the Seattle Thunderbids started their season last night against a Portland Winterhawks team without Oliver Bjorkstrand. True helped the Thunderbirds win 4-1 as he scored the 2-1 goal. Seattle will play again tonight against Everett.

NIce goal from True.

He sure is a big boy for his age.

Last night Jonas Røndbjerg became the youngest goalscorer ever in the best Danish league. And furthermore it became the GWG, and it was against last years champion SønderjyskE.
According to "Skudzonen" is he 1 day younger than Kirill Starkov was when he scored his first goal in the league.

Congratulation

 

[QuietContrarian]

Anyone care to explain what type of player we can expect Jonas to become?

Im guessing he is not the flashy type like Ehlers, so would appreciate any input from people who have seen him.

That is really some achievement !
GWG against SønderjydskE can't get better in the Danish League.

I know it is a very small sample size, but let us just enjoy it while it lasts:

Former Frederikshavn player (now IF Malmö Redhawks), Joakim Blichfeld U17, is currently the leading scorer in J18 Elit Södra, Region Syd (Southern part of the best Swedish U18 league). In 3 games he has 5 goals and 2 asssists. Another former Frederikshavn player (now Rögle BK) Mathias From is currently no. 7 on the same list with 2 goals and 3 assists in 2 games.

Top goalkeeper prospect from Vojens (now Växjö Lakers HC) Thomas Lillie, also seems to have had a good start in Sweden. He is playing in J20 SuperElit Södra (Southern part of the best Swedish U20 league) and after 6 games he has 92,00 in SVS% and a 2,37 GAA.

Highest scoring Dane in J20 SuperElit Södra is Christian Kristiansen, Rögle BK with 3 goals and 3 assists in 7 games.

Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup

Great start of the season for top 1998 born prospect Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup. He plays in the USPHL 16U league for Selects Academy at South Kent School. After a 4 points night that included a hat trick, he is the top scorer on his team after 3 games played with 7 goals and 2 assists.
As a curiosity can be mentioned that he plays on the same team as Norwegian generational talent Emilio Pettersen.

Thanks for the update, Valdemar.
How good is the J18 Elit Södra, Region Syd? Just some caution before we get carried away with these stats

Halifax With another loss, no points for Ehlers, so thats 1g in 3 games for him so far.
Halifax look like crap, but he needs to step up.

Olli keeps on trucking, even tho his team are also sucking balls.

The rest of the Danes, bar True, have dissapointed albeit on crap teams.

No Danish points in the AHL yet either...

Together With the NHL players, the start of the Danish NA season is slow, on the verge of horrible.

IMO, I should add

And before negative Nancy is slung in my face, I would add I am not sore about it, just expect more.
And some off the circumstances are not up to the players, like Hansen on the 4th Line and so forth

At least the Danes in Europe seem to be doing well

 

[Tobias]

It's been like 1-3 games in the NHL. Chill dudes

As always it's a Day by Day Update.

And so far it has been bad. Nothing more nothing less.

It seems like a total reverse to last season with awesome starts in NA and pretty bleak in Europe.
But yeah Oliver Bjørkstrand is game, and Ehlers really need to hit the speeder.

Both are in pretty diffecult situations....Halifax are severely weakened and the expectations have been very low in the media there..And Portland lost a bunch of guys too.....at least they have oliver and petan still.

Ehlers could have a tough time getting great numbers this season...

He certainly need to produce soon so halifax can get some points before the world juniors.

I would love to know what fountain of youth he uses?

Other than that, id love to know what slowed True down?

haha, good catch. Many names to juggle with, so you are bound to get it wrong once in awhile.
If I had also written Søren True, then it must have been a fountain of youth in circulation!
