How would you compare/contrast and ?
SHL is the top pro league in Sweden and NCAA D1 is the top collegiate level in N America so they are very different in that sense. In terms of caliber, you'll find strong players across rosters on both leagues. A number of top NCAA D1 players who go on to play in Europe may play in one of the top Sweden leagues one day if their skill level is there. In order to play in SHL, they either need to be an elite NCAA D1 player (potentially with pro experience after college in the ECHL/AHL/NHL).
We've helped work with players who've played in each of these levels and our partners scout both levels.
