Eddie Genborg, a right wing the Detroit Red Wings selected 44 th overall in the 2025 draft, on Friday was selected to Sweden’s World Junior Championship team.

Genborg is big and strong (6-2, 205), skates well, plays physical and likes to forecheck as a player who prides himself in being hard to play against. After coming up in the Linkoping system, he’s in his first season with Timra IK of the Swedish Hockey League. He has eight goals and seven assists in 25 games.

“He’s a big, strong kid, he can really skate, he’s physical on the forecheck, a guy that is really tough to play against,” Kris Draper, Detroit’s assistant general manager and director of amateur scouting, said during the draft. “We really like the intensity that he’s able to bring.”
