Red Wings prospect Charlie Forslund pursues music while seeking ice time

Detroit Red Wings prospect Charlie Forslund is developing a music career as he navigates his professional hockey trajectory. The 20-year-old winger has produced 11 songs and maintains a home studio setup. On the ice, the Red Wings have loaned the 2024 draft selection to Almtuna in Sweden’s second division, HockeyAllsvenskan. Forslund previously spent time in Sweden’s third tier, scoring 40 goals in 52 games during the 2023-24 season. His move to the second division comes after Brynas added 13-season NHL veteran Calle Jarnkrok to their roster, affecting Forslund's current playing opportunities. The forward remains focused on his development while continuing to balance his off-ice interest in sound mixing with his athletic career. He expressed an interest in performing his music locally in Gävle, Sweden, as he works to secure a consistent role in professional hockey.
