Tobias Björnfot’s biggest selling point if you ask the analysts, is either his skating ability...or his leadership.
And it’s not an incorrect or overwrought statement either. Björnfot has been a staple of Sweden’s U16 and U18 and probably their World Junior teams next year, often wearing the “A” or “C”, and that’s a pretty high honor: Sweden’s a good squad pretty much every year at nearly every level and has a lot of good talent to drop that on.
But how do you get to be the Captain or Alternate Captain of Djurgardens IF and the Swedish junior teams?
