Swedish defenseman Albin Aldgard was all smiles when he heard his name called by Las Vegas Aces’ GM @sadie 8^th Overall in the S96 VHLM Dispersal Draft.

At the post draft press conference, Aldgard’s smile was still as big as when his name had been called minutes earlier.

 

“I’m super excited to be selected by Las Vegas. It’s a great city, it’s a great team, they have a smart management team and I think it’s a perfect fit. My agent has told me all good things about the franchise. I think my speed and skills will be well received by the fans and I like that the Aces have Cup aspirations.”

 

@sadie has had the opportunity to scout Aldgard quite a bit as the GM of the JST Royals of which the defenseman was one of the top scorers during the main tournament with 9 goals and 19 assists for 28 points in 30 games. Aldgard also got his feet wet in the M with the Mississauga Hounds for the last 16 games of the S95 regular season along with 9 playoff games.
