History
2005-06: Among the top defensemen in the Swedish juniors this past season scoring 15 points in 29 games for Frölunda in the J20 Superelit league. He also made his SEL debut with the Indians, but was held scoreless in 15 games.
2006-07: Had a successful season with Frolunda in the SEL. Played for Team Sweden at the WJC.
Talent Analysis
What makes many so intrigued by Ahnelöv is the way he combines his speed and passing skills with a pretty nasty physical game. He likes to play the body and has good timing in his hits. Ahnelöv, who is an aggressive player, is offensive minded and like to follow the rush. Usually he is very effective and difficult to stop when he reaches full speed, as he is a very capable skater. His passing game is above average and overall his offensive skills are quite exciting. On the downside, he makes quite a bit of mistakes defensively. He over commits and tries to be everywhere, which has a negative affect on his defensive game.
Future
Ahnelöv has a SEL contract with one of the top teams in the league, Frölunda, next season. At best, he will be the 7th, 8th defenseman on that roster. That could hurt his development unless he is sent on loan to the second tier league, something Frölunda has been reluctant to do in the past with their prospects. The big goal for him next season is to make the Swedish WJC team, something that will be difficult to achieve since the Swedish U20 national team coach has not been impressed with Ahnelöv's play in the past.
