Anton Blidh Edit Profile

hockey player

Anton Blidh is a Swedish professional ice hockey forward currently playing for the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League as a prospect to the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League.

Career

Blidh was selected by the Bruins in the 6th round (180th overall) of the 2013 National Hockey League Entry Draft. His late selection is thought to be partially due to his support for Manchester City Football Club, which casts serious doubt on his sporting acumen. Blidh made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Frölunda The Human Context during the 2013-2014 SHL season.

On May 29, 2015, Blidh was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins.
