Soren Strum
History
2006-07: Sturm (no relation to Bruins forward Marco Sturm) was a dominant figure from the blueline, racking up 49 points in 34 games while joining current CHLer Timo Pielmeier in helping the Cologne Sharks DNL team win the league championship. Although eligible, he was not taken in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
2007-08: Scouts kept an eye on Soren and he continued to develop steadily this past winter, spending the entire season playing professional hockey for three separate teams. The highlight of his season was nonetheless the 11 playoff games he played for the Cologne Sharks on their way to finishing as runners-up in the championship loss to the Eisbaren Berlin. He jumped into a regular role due to injuries and showed that he could keep up the pace at Germany's top level.
Talent Analysis
Sturm's strengths lie in his speed and overall skating ability. His calm demeanor with the puck means a low turnover percentage whereas his ability to read the game often allows him to intercept passes at neutral ice. He's a very good skater, possesses strong agility and can jump into the offense well. While in the DNL and when playing with junior level national teams, Sturm has often been called upon to captain the power play, where he unloads an accurate shot from the point.
Future
According to general manager Pauels, Sturm is scheduled to spend the upcoming season with Bremerhaven in Germany's 2nd league, where he'll continue to develop until called upon by the Sharks.
