Prospect round-up, CHL edition (part 1): Kasper (2A), Wallinder (3A, 20:07 played) shine in Rogle’s big win

Updated 3x with highlights at 1:05 PM: There are still two Champions Hockey League games taking place as Frolunda HC and Liam Dower Nilsson are battling (and losing to) Mountfield HK right now (you can watch the game here) and Antti Tuomisto and TPS Turku are going to tangle with EV Zug at 1:30 PM (and the link to the live stream is here)…

But Rogle BK has put on a clinic in their 5-1 win over GKS Katowice, and the trio of Red Wings prospects who play for the Angelholm-based team in Skane (southern Sweden) put on a show for the home crowd.

Marco Kasper, playing as the team’s 2nd line center, posted 2 assists (one on the 2-0 goal and one on the 5-1 goal), finishing at +1 with 3 shots in 14:15 played:

Theodor Niederbach, ostensibly playing as the 4th line center, finished even with 1 shot in 15:01 played;

And William Wallinder, playing on Rogle’s top defensive pairing, had a hell of a game, finishing with 3 assists, an even plus-minus rating, 4 shots and 6 blocked shots in 20:07 played.

The Champions Hockey League is very good about posting highlights, so those will be up soon…

And Wallinder, speaking in Swedish, was the subject of Rogle’s post-game YouTube video, “Grönt & Vitt” (Green and White):

After the Frolunda and TPS Turku games wrap up, the trio of CHL participants won’t play again until the CHL schedule picks up again on October 8th.

Update: If you want to re-watch the game, you can watch the entire 2 hour and 43 minute broadcast here. In English!
