Vancouver Canucks prospect Melvin Fernstrom says he’s excited to learn from Henrik and Daniel Sedin to take the next step in his career.
Fernstrom was recently participating at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Plymouth, Michigan with Team Sweden and did an interview with TSN where he shared his excitement to learn from Henrik and Daniel Sedin as he takes the next step in his career.
The Sedin twins have been working with the Vancouver Canucks organization as Development Coaches and will take on additional roles next season, including helping the team’s powerplay units.
The 18-year-old is expected to play in the Swedish Hockey League next season for Orebro HK and it’ll be a good opportunity for him to play a full year professionally in Sweden and it’ll be a big year development-wise. Fernstrom is likely a couple of years away before making the jump to North America, where he’ll start out in Abbotsford, so Canucks management is hoping he has a strong two years ahead.
