Two More Swedes Heading to Orono

The University of Maine received two verbal commitments over the weekend for next season. Theo Andersson and Pontus Hansson of the Frolunda Indians of Swedish SuperElit Under 20 League. Frolunda is one of the best developmental clubs in Sweden. On this club they have three players drafted in the NHL including Lars Eller who went 13th overall in the 2007 Draft. They have a couple of players that will be drafted this year. They will be joining fellow Swede Gustav Nyquist who played for Malmo in the same league.
