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.
Incredibly honored to announce my
commitment to play D1 college hockey for @TerrierHockey
starting next semester. #GoTerriers

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."
