Adam Werner (born 2 May 1997) is a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender. He is currently playing with IF Björklöven of the HockeyAllsvenskan (Allsv) on loan from Färjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). Werner was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche 131st overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

Playing career

Werner first played as youth with hometown club, Mariestad BoIS HC, up to the Under-18 level. On 6 June 2013, having shown early potential in using his size to compliment his style, Werner was signed under the eye of goaltending scout Erik Granqvist by SHL club Färjestad BK to continue his development at the U18 and J20 SuperElit leagues.[2]

In his first season within Färjestad BK in 2013–14, Werner lead the league at the U18 Elite level in goals against average and save percentage. Continuing his growth in the 2014–15 season, on 1 November 2014, having been promoted for the start of the SHL season, Werner made his professional debut as a 17-year old whilst serving in his second game as backup, coming off the bench for 3 minutes in a game against Leksands IF.[3] Werner were returned to become a fixture of the J20 side, appearing in 14 games and earning recognition in joining the Swedish junior program.

In his second year in the J20 SuperElit, Werner improved his statistics from the previous year in 30 games with Färjestads. Unable to add to his SHL experience in the 2015–16 season, he was loaned to HockeyEttan clubs with brief appearances for Köping HC and Forshaga IF.[4] He was also loaned to HockeyAllsvneskan club, IF Björklöven. In making an impression from practicing with the squad, Werner failed to feature in Allsvenskan games before returning to Färjestad.

On 15 April 2016, Werner was signed to a one-year extension with Färjestad to solidify his position as the club's third choice keeper at the age of 19.[5] In order to progress his game, on 19 April 2016, Werner was re-loaned to IF Björklöven for the duration of the 2016–17 season.[6]
