Norwegian prospect Tinus Luc Koblar scored in his World Championship debut for Norway and has now confirmed he will join Rögle in the SHL next season. The 18-year-old is leaving Leksand following the club's relegation, after earlier reports indicated he was finalizing the transfer.
Tinus Luc Koblar scored the tying goal in Norway's 2-1 loss to Slovakia in the tournament opener. He also had a late chance to equalize again but missed a backhand shot wide of the post. Coach Petter Thoresen praised the forward's instincts and leadership qualities, calling him one of Norway's top talents who needs only more polish to excel at a high level. The confirmation follows earlier reports from early May that Koblar was in final negotiations with Rögle amid interest from at least five clubs.
