Sting select Rensfeldt in Import Draft
sarniasports.com june 29th, 2011

 

Sarnia, On – Sarnia Sting General Manager Jacques Beaulieu announced this afternoon the hockey club has selected Ludvig Rensfeldt with its first round selection (49th overall) in the 2011 CHL Import Draft.

Rensfeldt a native of Gavle, Sweden was the 2nd round selection (35th overall) of the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Rensfeldt was a member of the Swedish Under 18 team in 2010 capturing a Silver Medal.

Last season the forward played 16 games with Brynas of the Swedish Elite League and played the majority of the season with Brynas Jr. club.

The Sting were originally slated to select 57th but made a deal with Sudbury to move up to 49th to take Rensfeldt. The Sting sent a 13th round pick in the 2013 OHL Priority Selection to Sudbury in order to trade up.

Beaulieu explains his thoughts on drafting Rensfeldt.

“All reports we have on Ludvig is that he is a big, explosive, powerful winger with a very good shot. Being a 2nd round pick of Chicago is also very reassuring that we have drafted a quality player who will step into our top two lines and be a presence on the power play. We are optimistic we can convince Ludvig that playing in Sarnia and the Ontario Hockey League will be the best choice for his development but that process now just begins.”
