JuniorHockey.io has named Potomac Patriots forward Simon Eriksson as the HockeyWolf Player of the Week following a dominant stretch of performances for the team.
Eriksson, a dynamic forward for the Patriots Premier squad, earned the recognition after another standout week that showcased his elite offensive instincts and all-around game. Known for his blend of vision, creativity, and physicality, Eriksson continues to be a driving force behind the Patriots’ recent success.
Patriots general manager RJ Zeigler praised Eriksson’s complete offensive ability and relentless approach to the game.
“Simon is a complete offensive threat,” said Zeigler. “His vision on the ice leads to incredible playmaking abilities, but if you focus too much on where he is going with the puck, he’ll use his quick release to bury it himself. He’s hardworking and way more physical than the stereotypical European hockey player. He’s a huge asset to the Patriots Premier squad.”
Eriksson’s production this week reflected exactly what Zeigler described. The skilled forward recorded five points in two games, once again proving to be a catalyst for the Patriots’ offense. In Friday night’s game, Eriksson added one goal and one assist, helping set the tone early for his team. The following night, he elevated his play even further, netting a goal and dishing out two assists in another strong all-around performance.
His ability to impact the game in multiple ways — whether by finishing plays or creating opportunities for teammates — continues to separate him from the pack. With a sharp hockey sense and quick release, Eriksson has become one of the most difficult players in the league to contain.
Beyond his scoring touch, Eriksson has earned praise for his effort away from the puck. His two-way commitment, physical play, and competitiveness in every battle have made him a leader on the ice and a crucial part of the Patriots’ success this season.
Teammates and coaches alike credit Eriksson’s consistency and work ethic as key factors in the team’s offensive surge. His presence energizes the lineup, setting a standard of intensity and execution every time he hits the ice.
This recognition from JuniorHockey.io highlights not just Eriksson’s impressive individual skill set, but also the growth and strength of the Potomac Patriots program. As one of the team’s offensive cornerstones, Eriksson continues to raise the bar for performance and leadership within the organization.
With his combination of scoring ability, creativity, and determination, Simon Eriksson remains a crucial part of the Patriots’ success — and a player to watch as the season continues.
