Leo Carlsson, a rising star in Swedish hockey, has drawn comparisons to Mats Sundin and is expected to be a top-five pick in the 2023 NHL draft. But what sets Carlsson apart is his journey as someone who stutters. His parents first noticed his stutter at age 6, and while he developed his own techniques for managing it, it still resurfaces at times. However, Carlsson has learned to embrace his stutter and not let it hold him back. In fact, he sees interviews as a way to beat his stutter. Carlsson’s success on and off the ice makes him a role model for kids who stutter everywhere.
