Team Sweden

Jesper Bratt

Jesper Bratt has taken another step in his production this season and at times has looked like the best player on the team. He has been able to take over games when necessary, and he’s become one of the go-to scorers in a pinch. Obviously, the Devils have been pretty bad as of late, but Bratt is one of the few players who’s been somewhat consistent. Bratt should get a pretty desirable spot on the Swedish national team. He will be fighting with the likes of Lukas Raymond and William Nylander for the top spot on the right side.

Alexander Holtz

Another Devils winger looking to make the 2026 Olympic team for Sweden is Alexander Holtz. He is currently preparing to represent Sweden at the World Junior Championships. He has represented Sweden his entire life in international tournaments. He only needs to represent the Swedes on the world’s biggest stage to hit all of the possible representations. He is one of the best pure scorers for Sweden. They will want a player like that on the team when he’s getting closer to his prime. Holtz will be 23 years old when the Olympics his in 2026.

Two years ago, we would have easily put Jesper Boqvist on this team. He hasn’t progressed like we hoped, and right now it doesn’t seem like he has much of a chance to make the team. Nikola Pasic is another player who could make the team, but it’s not very likely. He has a lot of growing to do.
