It is great. I am more of an all-around player. I am good defensively and I can agitate players on the ice and do anything to help my team win.”
Following Flyers training camp, he was sent down to the Philadelphia Phantoms
, the AHL
affiliate of the Flyers, where he played his first season of professional ice hockey.
Frederik has a brother, Michael, who plays for the Sherbrooke Saint-francois of the LNAH.
