Press Release
The Colorado Thunderbirds program is pleased to
announce that Fredrick Olofsson has committed to play college hockey for
the Colorado College Tigers of the WCHA starting in the fall of 2014 or
2015. Freddy was born in 1996 in Helsingborg, Sweden. He is a
forward playing for the Colorado Thunderbirds U16 team. Since moving to
Colorado four years ago, he has been a member of the Thunderbird
program since 2009 playing under Coach Ricci this season, "Freddy has
developed into a blue chip prospect. He has a natural feel for the game
and makes everyone around him a better player. The sky is the limit
with his potential. CC is very fortunate to be getting such a terrific
young man that is also a terrific student," said Angelo Ricci, Director
of Hockey Operations/U16 Head Coach. The Thunderbird organization
continues to provide an avenue for the elite student-athlete to develop
and advance to the highest levels. Freddy eventually will join former
Thunderbirds, his brother Gustav, Jaccob Slavin and Christian Heil at
CC. He is the son of Hakan and Ulrika, natives of Sweden, but now
living in Colorado.
