RD Adam Tilander - North Bay Battalion, OHL (2017 undrafted)

[3 Minute Minor]

Buddy of mine saw this kid playing a U18 game recently and thought the world of him after seeing just a few shifts. He didn't get to see much else but he made sure to get the name Adam Thilander written down. Is this kid on the map? Kind of sounds dumb asking seeing as he's 13 playing in U18 but is he legit?

I should mention he's Swedish.

Let me guess, you're adam thilander?

Let me guess, you're adam thilander?

I guess this kid deserves a thread, he is waaay ahead of the development curve for a 13-year old, playing in j-18 and scoring a lot of points in Tv-pucken a nationwide tournament for 15-year olds. His draftyear is 2017 so let's wait and see

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

That's a sweet name.

Never too early for these types of theards IMO hence this Grimaldi thread from 04! http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?p=868637#post868637

Anyway, thanks for the heads up, I'll be looking out for the name now for sure. Sounds like a great prospect.

What, he's 13 playing J18, it's a pretty big anomaly.

Born 1998-09-18 so he's not eligible until 2017. 5 year hype train starting here.

 

[KRM]

He's having an impressive TV-Pucken showing. Game on right now, link with stream available in the Swedish section.

It's making me install crap before watching, this kid better be good.

Edit: Once you manage to track him down (#21 in yellow this game), he actually seems to what he's hyped up to be.
He makes a lot happen and even picked up an assist since I've tuned in.
Looking back at it, it looks to be a phantom assist, but whatever.

 

[Patmac40]

13 years old and he's an inch shorter than me..well then. Sounds like he's pretty far ahead in all his development, including physical. It'll be nice to see how he turns out.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

When was the last time a Swedish 13-year old got any mention at all? Can recall hearing about it tbh. Let the hype train roll!

 

[1912]

Kids something special.

Third defenceman in scoring at Tv-Pucken.

GP:6 G:3 A:4 TP:7 +6

To boot he's almost six feet and 200 pounds. As a thirteen year old that's impressive.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Wow. This kid could be huge.

 

[joe89]

So he played J18 already last year as a 12/13 year old?

Let the hype train commence.

 

[3 Minute Minor]

So I noticed his names been changed for North Americans to Adam Tilander lol

He's currently playing for Västergötland, he's still the youngest player on his team and currently has 8GP 3G 4A 7PTS.

In comparison, neither Victor Hedman or Adam Larsson were playing at this age in TV-Pucken let alone being in their second season in that league lool definitely still one to watch, I hope he makes an appearance at the U17's either this year or next.

No, he's not currently playing for Västergötland. TV-pucken is during the pre-season only.

 

[BPilgrim]

He's made one appearance for Skövde IK J18 this season. I guess he normally plays for Skövde IK U16 but I'm not sure.

He's not on their "A-pojk"(-97 & -98 born) roster, but hard to say because I can't find stats for those leagues. That's an obscure level anyway.

The thing with those lower junior divisions is that they don't play nearly enough games. Skövde was relegated from J18 Elit last year which is the top U18 division, and they played 34 games(the top teams play 40+playoffs). This year he plays in a division where they only play 18(!) games stretching from October-March. He seems like a pretty promising kid, but needs to change team to progress. Obviously he's just barely a teenager, not the easiest thing to just move elsewhere.

He's named to a regional U16 development camp anyway(http://swehockey.se/ImageVaultFiles/id_23863/cf_113/MB Roster Borås R16 2012 no1.PDF) where he's the only -98 born so the federation obviously has their eyes open. There are four regional camps like this in total(covering all of Sweden) and only four -98 borns are on them, so you could say he's among the top guys in his age group right now.

I apologize, I really have trouble finding Swedish rosters/stats

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Alright Swedes, we're talking '98 born guys like Sean Day now, tell us about your '98 born D-man. I haven't heard much of anything (pretty much what's in this thread + a little bit) on Tilander this season and it's been driving me nuts.
