2026 WJC Team Sweden Hockey Roster
The Team Sweden World Juniors 2026 roster continues the nation’s tradition of structured, possession-driven hockey at the IIHF World Junior Championship. Built from elite talent developed in the SHL, HockeyAllsvenskan, NCAA, and top European junior programs, this Swedish squad blends skating ability, puck control, and defensive discipline.
In goal, Sweden is supported by Herman Liv, Love Harenstam, and Mans Goos, a trio that combines strong fundamentals, calm rebound control, and international experience. Their presence allows Sweden to play confidently in tight, low-event games where structure and patience are critical.
The blue line is a clear strength for Sweden, featuring a mobile, left-shot heavy group led by Sascha Boumedienne, Leo Sahlin Wallenius, and Alfons Freij. With additional size from defenders like Loke Krantz and Viggo Gustafsson, Sweden’s defense is built to close gaps quickly, move the puck efficiently, and limit high-danger chances against.
Up front, Team Sweden boast a skilled and balanced forward corps capable of sustaining pressure through puck possession. Players such as Anton Frondell, Victor Eklund, and Ivar Stenberg provide offensive creativity, while Eddie Genborg, Jack Berglund, and Liam Danielsson add size, forechecking pressure, and net-front presence. The forward depth allows Sweden to roll four lines without sacrificing structure or tempo.
With disciplined team defense, reliable goaltending, and a forward group that thrives on puck control and skating, the Sweden World Juniors 2026 roster is built for consistency throughout the tournament. As play unfolds, Sweden once again project as a strong medal contender with the depth and structure to challenge every top nation.
