Leo Carlsson is expected to be a top-five pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. He also stutters. People notice. But it’s just one part of him. And that part, like the rest of him, is ready for the NHL's lights and lenses. More:
Leo Carlsson stutters. People notice. Sometimes they’ll pull him aside to quietly ask him about it. Sometimes he’ll tell them before they have a chance.
These days, it helps to “take the speed down a notch” when he’s doing interviews — to focus on the words instead of how he sounds. Friends and family reach out to encourage him when they see him speaking on TV.. “I think I’ve had it my whole life so I’m kind of used to it. It’s part of me. I can’t change it.”
In time, he outgrew the town, leaving Karlstad behind at 15 to join Örebro’s under-20 junior program in the fall of 2020. When Leo, then just 16, registered five goals and eight points in the first four games with the under-20 team, Bengtzen had seen enough.
