The 2026 World Junior Hockey Championships held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, saw five of the Red Wings top prospects play against the best U-20 prospects in the world. Many of the Red Wings prospects saw lots of ice time and heavy roles for their country, including Eddie Genborg, who was a key contributor on Sweden’s gold medal-winning team.
The forward prospects all play a similar style of game, one that seems to be a favourite of general manager Steve Yzerman. These players play two-way games and like to go into the hard areas to battle for pucks.
Eddie Genborg
Congrats to our 2025 Draft Pick, Eddie Genborg, on winning gold with @trekronorse!
