Carl Axelsson is a goaltender selected by the Utah Mammoth in the fourth round (115th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft — and he's chasing a family dream. His father, Niklas Axelsson, was a goaltender at the University of Minnesota Duluth, and Carl is committed to follow him there. "It's been my dream school since I was a kid because my dad played there," he said.
Born November 21, 2006 in Danderyd, Sweden, the 6-foot-4 netminder led a junior championship run at Skellefteå before crossing the Atlantic, then turned in a standout 2025-26 for the USHL's Muskegon Lumberjacks: 28-14-1 with a 2.41 goals-against average (fourth in the league) and a .917 save percentage (second), three USHL Goalie of the Week honors, and a run to the Clark Cup Final, where he was brilliant (.952).
Muskegon coach Casey Mignone called him "a rock for us back there — he makes all the saves we need him to make and then makes one or two extra."
This page gathers Axelsson's numbers, measurements, and draft details in one place. InGoal Magazine will expand its coverage as his career develops.
