Although the players' five-day schedule of on-ice and off-ice training is wrapped up, Red Wings forward prospect Theodor Niederbach knows plenty of hard work is ahead.
"You take the things you have learned in the week and keep working on that stuff on your own," said Niederbach, who was Detroit's 20th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. "Or with the team you are on."
This past season, Niederbach had nine goals and seven assists in 51 games for the SHL's Frolunda HC. According to the 20-year-old, his overall game has improved while playing in Sweden's top hockey league.
"You play against full-grown men," Niederbach said. "It's tough every game. The SHL is a good league and every team is good."
Niederbach, who will suit up for Rogle BK in the 2022-23 season, said he's excited for the next step in his professional hockey career.
"Frolunda is a good club and I've learned a lot from them," Niederbach said. "I felt that I wanted to try something new. I know that Rogle is a good team, and both (William) Wallinder and (Moritz) Seider have been there and had huge development."
