Brodie Brazil checks in with Sharks forward Alex Wennberg to reflect on his time with Sweden at the IIHF World Championship, winning bronze, and how his summer is going.
Hey Brodie, What a great guy! It's remarkable what summer vacation with the family and relaxing among friends can do for a professional hockey player. We are so used to our guys talking in season when they have just played so understandably their feeling's can be a bit raw particularly if the team has been enduring the kind of seasons the Sharks have had the last two years. No hockey player is going to be smiling and relaxed when the team is losing.
I really thought Wennberg had a nice season last year amidst all the upheaval and fluctuation in the roster. He seemed to be battling some injuries and playing through them but, after the trade deadline he really seemed to have a second wind and you could see how capable a player he is and how responsible he is in all 3 zones.
I am glad we have him and I hope 2025-26 is a great season for Wennberg. Thanks Brodie for this conversation man.
even if GMMG isn't saying it, Wennberg is — its either Misa or Schaefer. Not that he'd know …
Also, would like to know if the GM asks guys like Wennberg their thoughts/opinions on potential trade targets or FA. He's got a ton of experience and knows the league well.

I hope he gets another contract in SJ. Great player, great influence on the kids. A few more years would be great. Get it done Mike!

Wennberg playing coy forgetting Shaeffer's name 🤫
A wenny interview with Brodie is a chef’s kiss.
