Looking ahead
BU’s
already-strong 2015 recruit class received a major boost today when Omaha center Jakob
Forsbacka-Karlsson announced his commitment to BU. A 6-1, 192 lb.,
right-shot center from Stockholm, Sweden, JFK—that’s really his nickname—is a
highly regarded playmaker and with first-rate faceoff skills. He’s in his
second season with USHL Omaha, where 2016 recruit Hank Crone is a first-year
player. Last season, he was the Lancers’ sixth leading scorer with an 11-22-33
line in 66 games with a +11.
Excited to announce my commitment to Boston University! Big thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way #GoBU

Forsbacka-Karlsson
has also played for Team Sweden in international tournaments at the U17 and U18
level and he’s a candidate for the Swedish entry to the 2014 World Junior
Champions. He played for Sweden in exhibition games at the US WJC Evaluation
Camp in Lake Placid this past August.
96 F Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson (@OmahaLancers) commits to Boston University. Another NHL prospect at center commits to the Terriers.

In
the recently released NHL Central Scouting players-to-watch list for
the 2015 draft, JFK received a “B” ranking. He told USHL.com:
“My goal when coming to the United States was to play college hockey. Boston University was the right spot for me. After touring the campus and seeing what they’re all about, I knew this is where I wanted to be for my college career.”
