Philip Broberg comes with what every Swedish defender seems to possess: great skating. And Broberg’s skating really is great. Added to that key element is an impressive frame that stands 6’3” with a mass a bit over 200 pounds.
He is a defender built for the transition game. His skating means he can bring up the puck at speed and put defenders to shame before delivering a pass to a forward in a good position.
Broberg transfered to AIK in HockeyAllsvenskan (the Swedish second tier) after impressing in the Junior ranks, and played an impressive 41 games in a professional league.
