William Eklund, a forward for the San Jose Sharks, was not selected for Sweden's recent 4 Nations Face-Off roster due to a preference for experienced players. Undeterred, Eklund hopes to represent Sweden in the upcoming IIHF World Championships in his hometown of Stockholm, having last played for his country during the canceled 2022 World Junior championships. With 15 goals and 50 points this season, he is vying for a spot, believing a strong performance could enhance his Olympic chances for Italy next year.
Eklund, aiming to solidify his spot on Team Sweden, was left off the recent roster but is hopeful for the upcoming IIHF World Championships in Stockholm.
The 22-year-old forward has been making strides in the NHL, currently among the top Swedish-born scorers, and desires an impactful performance at Worlds.
