Update in North America for Some Norwegian Players

Written by: Evan Andriopoulos on 10/02/2001

Patrick Thoresen of Hamar who played a couple seasons for Storhamar of the Norwegian Elite League has been playing for the Wildcats of Moncton in the QMJHL. Thoresen has recorded (8gp 9g 3a 12tp 2+) and is their leading scorer. The 6-0 182lb forward has looked solid in his first full season in the rugged Canadian Junior system.

Meanwhile another Norwegian is playing on the other side of the continent. Peter Lorentzen of the Tri City Americans has appeared in 4 games while recording one goal and one assist and is -1 in those contests. Lorentzen has the protoypical build of a power forward and must learn to use his size and skill in the very rough WHL.

Other Norwegian notes are Espen Knutsen continues to play a solid playmaking game in Columbus with the Blue Jackets. Knutsen has flourished while playing on a line with ex Whaler Geoff Sanderson. Anders Myrvold who turned down offers from the Islanders, St.Louis and Montreal signed with the Rangers and spent 3 days in camp with the Rangers before being re-assigned to Hartford of AHL. Martin Sellgren ex Ferris State (CCHA)the 6-3 220 pounder played a solid d first role in the US and played super in the 2001 World Championships for Norway. He was last listed as looking to keep his American adventure alive. If any updates on him please feel free to contact me.

Until next time... Cheers!
