The 20-year-old forward, Nordh, will play for the Tucson Roadrunners in the American Hockey League during the 2025-26 season. After two games with the Roadrunners during the 2024-25 season, a move to the Canadian Hockey League for Nordh had him produce over a point per game with the Soo Greyhounds. He had 52 points (21 goals and 31 assists) in 47 regular-season games, and he added three assists in five playoff games. He also represented Sweden at the 2025 World Junior Championship, when he replaced injured Philadelphia Flyers prospect Jack Berglund. Nordh will have the opportunity to establish himself with Tucson and adapt to the professional game before getting a chance to play in the NHL with the Utah Mammoth. The Nordh project is a two-way bottom-six forward that could contribute offensively with value on both the power play and penalty kill.

Nordh had an excellent preseason with Tucson in the AHL, leading them in scoring with four points in two games. He was also the youngest player on their roster at 19 years old. After two scoreless regular-season games with Tucson instead of loaning him back to Sweden, Nordh was reassigned to Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL. He was initially selected by the Soo Greyhounds No. 44 overall in the first round of the 2022 CHL Import Draft. So far, he’s having a strong campaign in the OHL, putting up five goals and 14 points in 11 games.

Nordh became the first player to sign a contract with Utah since it relocated from Arizona in April. He spent the majority of 2023-24 with Bryas IF in HockeyAllsvenskan, collecting six goals and 15 points in 50 games. Additionally, Nordh racked up 10 goals and 22 points in 15 games with Brynas U20 affiliate team. In the Allsvenskan, Nordh would play mostly a lower role, then he’d be loaned out to the junior team, playing 20-plus minutes a game and have the puck all the time, creating offense. He will be eligible to play in the AHL in 2024-25 or loaned out to Sweden for another year.

Nordh is having a very strong year in Sweden, as the 2023 third-round pick is looking like a potential steal. Playing for Bryas IF in HockeyAllsvenskan, Nordh has been solid with four goals and 10 points in 31 contests. Solid totals for a player who has never played in that league and is still 18 years old. In the J20 Nationell (the highest junior league in Sweden) he has really showed some offensive power. Nordh has nine goals and 20 points in just 13 games, proving he’s ready for full-time duty in HockeyAllsvenskan for Bryas IF.

In a surprising move the Coyotes drafted a player under 6-4, as Nordh was selected 72nd overall by the Coyotes.
