Prospect Info: Frederik Dichow Nissen (Signs 2 Year Deal w/Frolunda, 2022-2024)

[Gally11]

Your dominant hand is your stick hand because generally that's the one that is best equipped to handle the weight of the stick and just the same as most shooters are left handed in the NHL, the dominant hand for stickhandling is at the top of the stick for control.

I'm weird, I'm right handed, shoot right and when I play goalie I'm much more comfortable catching right

I'm left handed and played baseball before I ever played hockey, so I was used to catching with my right hand and having my dominant hand on the middle part of the stick. The result is whenever I played hockey as a kid I had a left side stick for when I was playing a regular position and a right side stick for when I was playing goalie . Us southpaws are used to having to adapt so that was pretty much par for the course I guess !

I am right handed and shoot right, but when I play goalie in my pickup games, I have to catch left. I can’t stick handle for crap and have to always flip my goal stick around. This is likely due to always catching left in baseball growing up. A catching mitt on my right is completely alien to me.

Try playing Tennis, it will force you to use both sides. As a kid, I realize pretty quick my right arm was much stronger and more used than my left arm when I played Tennis.

It improved quickly the more I played and practiced.

Funny that you mention this. I'm a lefty; write, bat, throw, shoot left. But plays badminton, ping pong and tennis from the right. My right generates a lot of power on my smashes, more than my left would.

My right has more snap to it, but my left has more power.

Dichow’s joining the Sudbury Wolves in the OHL.

That's very good news! There was no clear road for him to make the big team in Malmo and he needs to play more, the CHL was the obvious choice to make. Sudbury had a good team this year and they're gonna be even better in 20-21 so he'll be well surrounded.

Very interesting prospect. He’s 6’5” too. Hoping he has a good year in Sudbury.

He is pretty intriguing for sure. What I've seen of him is very limited but he does have the ideal modern goalie frame and he's athletic.

Nice! Gonna be interesting to see him closer.

His Habs draft jersey hanging in the back.

 

[ahmedou]

That's very “nicen” to hear. Great choice by him. He's now closer to us.

 

[montreal]

thought he should have come over last year to get 2 years in the OHL but really glad he'll be over here so I can get to see him a few times.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I was hoping he would stay in Sweden.

Do I want him to play in the country that has been developing goalies or the country that hasn't? Tough call.

Un déménagement porteur d'espoir pour Frederik Dichow

“It was my first year outside of Denmark in my own apartment. I was recalled by the first team (Malmo Redhawks )where I played nine games. It was a very enriching experience to me.”

“It had always been my wish to come in Canada and play my junior hockey there. But before I got this call, I had no contact with any club... So it was a nice surprise.”

[JianYang]

I'm weird, I'm right handed, shoot right and when I play goalie I'm much more comfortable catching right

I shoot left handed, golf left handed, bat left handed.

But I throw and write right handed.

Actually, when I was younger, I used to write with my left hand too, but was trained to go right handed really early on in my life.
