DetroitRedWings.com’s Jonathan Mills filed a late-Monday-night notebook which discusses Marco Kasper’s experiences playing with Rogle BK of the Swedish SHL, which were made during Kasper’s appearance at the Wings’ summer development camp last month:
Buoyed by his support system and self-confidence, Kasper handled himself well in the SHL last season by tallying seven goals and four assists in 46 regular-season games. He also recorded six points and a plus-4 rating in 13 postseason contests, helping Rogle BK reach the SHL Semifinals.
Prior to joining Rogle BK, Kasper collected 13 points in 12 games for the club’s Jr.-20 team, including a goal and two helpers in a playoff game.
When reflecting on his first full season in the SHL, Kasper said he learned a lot about specifics within the game.
“I think we play a fast-paced game,” he said. “(We) try to get out of the o-zone fast and go and get the puck deep, and then work in the offensive zone as much as possible to create scoring chances from there. It’s been great playing there.”
As a result of embracing Rogle’s system and structure, Kasper feels he is a better player than who he was before the 2021-22 campaign.
“I think I’ve developed over the year,” Kasper said. “We always have a really good team in Rogle, so I think just trying to fit into the team again (this season), trying to do our best as a team and taking responsibilities too.”
