There has never been any doubt about Jacob Olofsson’s talent, however there has always been a discussion about his work ethic on and off the ice. The long off-season seems to have changed that. One of Skellefteå’s coaches, Stefan Hedlund, has been impressed with the Montreal Canadiens prospect’s rehabilitation after his season-ending shoulder injury.
Olofsson also suffered a concussion this summer, and Mr. Hedlund points out that Olofsson looked for help outside the organisation, something that showcases a new professional approach.
An injury is never good, but the shoulder injury came at an exceptionally bad time for the young forward.
