Koblar, 18, recorded 14 points (eight goals, six assists) in 47 games with Leksands IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) during the 2025-26 season.

Internationally, Koblar represented Norway at both the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship (Division I, Group A), where he registered 10 points (five goals, five assists) in five games, and the 2026 IIHF World Championship, where he recorded nine points (six goals, three assists) in 10 games.

A native of Kranj, Slovenia, Koblar was selected by Toronto in the second round (64th overall) of the 2025 NHL Draft.

Leksand was relegated to Allsvenskan this year, and TLK was signed by Rögle in the SHL for what is believed to be a one-year deal.

This is what we thought about him last fall:

The reality turned out to be more than any of us hoped for. And the fantastic performance in the World Championships netting him a bronze medal was the cap on a great year.

And he's not even 19 yet!

When we have contract details, we'll update you, but ELCs are three years and have caps on total salary.
