Emil Bejmo

Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

Emil Bejmo won two consecutive U18 championship titles playing for Färjestad in 05/06 and 06/07. His performance in the 06/07 playoffs, where he put up amazing 22 points in 8 games, is so far the high-light of Bejmo’s career along with the U18 WJC bronze medal he earned with Sweden during the same season. In 07/08, Bejmo moved to play third tier league hockey with Skåre and managed to put up 7 goals and 22 assists in 34 games. Numbers that proved he was ready for the next level.

Talent Analysis

Bejmo is a rather smallish center that stands out with his quick feet and fine hockey sense. He reads the play really well and is a skilled playmaker. Puck control and work ethic is very good and Bejmo stands out both offensively and defensively. He handles most aspects of the game fairly well, but is in need of additional muscle strength.

Future

Bejmo hopes to make the Swedish U20 WJC team during his last year as a junior. To achieve this, he will be playing men’s hockey with Bofors in the second best league in Sweden. Bejmo will be one of many young players on the team and the competition for quality ice time will be tough. With continued progress, the speedy center will likely at earliest be ready to play in North America in three year’s time.
