Pontus Åberg (born 23 September 1993) is a Swedish ice hockey player who is currently in the Djurgårdens IF organization. He represented team Stockholm at the Rikspucken, a national tournament in Sweden. He made his Elitserien debut during the 2010–11 season, as an extra forward in the second game of the season against Modo Hockey, but did not get any time on the ice.[1] Åberg currently playes with the junior team of Djurgårdens IF in the J20 SuperElit. Åberg extended his contract with Djurgården to the 2013–14 season in May 2011.[2] Åberg played a total of five games, scoring two points in the 2011 edition of the pre-season tournament European Trophy. Åberg received his first time on the ice in an Elitserien game and also scored his first goal in Elitserien in the league premier against HV71 on 15 September 2011.[3][4] He scored the game-winning goal in the shootouts against Färjestads BK on 29 September.[5]

After a start to the 2011–12 Elitserien season that included getting five goals and three assists in the first fourteen games, Åberg was announced to be the first of four candidates for that season's Elitserien Rookie of the Year[6].
