At 5’11 and 181lbs, Filip Westerlund is a small defenseman with big potential. He split last year between the Swedish Hockey League and J20 Elit (the Swedish equivalent of the Canadian juniors) for the Gothenburg powerhouse Frolunda, one of the best clubs in Europe and current European champions thanks to their victory in the Champions Hockey League, in which Westerlund himself played 7 games.
