New York Islanders prospect Calle Odelius is approaching rookie camp with renewed confidence after completing his first full season in North America. The Swedish defenseman, drafted 65th overall in 2022, is back on Long Island, determined to take another step forward in his development.

“It’s been good so far,” Odelius said of rookie camp after day four. “Good to see all the boys again and finally start to compete again. It’s been a long summer and I’m excited to be back.”

Like many young European players, Odelius needed time to adapt to the smaller North American ice.
