Terriers add forward Oskar Andren to roster for second semester



With depth issues at forward following Ahti Oksanen’s injury and AJ Greer’s departure, BU has added Swedish right wing Oskar Andren to the roster, beginning with second semester. The 6’1”, 185 lb. left-shot forward is in his second season with the NAHL Lone Star Brahmas, where he was the second leading scorer with an 8-14-22 scoring line in 28  games. In his rookie NAHL season, he had an 18-29-47 line in 51 games, including a four-goal game against Wenatchee.



Andren spent the previous three seasons with Djurgarden in Sweden’s Elit and SuperElit leagues and has experience in international events.

Brahmas’ Head Coach Dan Wildfong said:
"Andren went through a lot and when the scholarship came, to reach that goal, we were all excited.  We trusted him and believed in him and we're proud of him. He couldn't have asked for a better school."

The Danderyd, Sweden native has been in talks with Boston's Associate Head Coach Albie O'Connell for a few weeks and the recruiting process concluded during the road trip to Wichita Falls this weekend.

"We told him to trust us. I've seen Oskar improve every day in his board work and defensive play. He's going to be really good up there."
