Related Topics: AIK IF

Albin Eriksson is big. That is what everyone seems to agree upon. The left-winger stands at 6’4” and weighs in at 209.5 pounds, according to Skellefteå AIK. The fact that he is born in July, almost a year later than the earliest possible date for the draft, makes him an interesting target to say the least.

Birthplace: Bollnäs, Sweden
Shoots: Right
Position: LW
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 210 lbs.
Youth team: Bollnäs IS, Sweden
Pro team: Skellefteå AIK, SHL

Eriksson has very good hands, and his technical ability stands out, be it with a deke or with a fast snapshot when pouncing on a rebound.
