Altberg Sport Management is a Swedish boutique hockey agency led by Johan Altberg. The company was registered in Sweden in 2017 and is based in the Stockholm-area municipality of Nacka. Altberg previously worked with Eclipse Sports Management before moving into his own agency structure and aligning with CAA Hockey. Sports Business Journal reported in 2021 that CAA hired Altberg as a European hockey player agent and that he had worked with Elias Pettersson at Eclipse. Pat Brisson said Altberg was “highly recommended” by Pettersson and Pettersson’s family, which underlines the relationship-driven nature of his recruiting lane. The agency’s current client profile is heavily Swedish, with top European names such as Emil Pettersson, Jesper Sellgren, Andreas Borgman, Linus Söderström, Patrik Karlkvist, Lukas Bengtsson, Anton Wedin and Oscar Engsund. Its niche is Swedish player management, SHL/HockeyAllsvenskan placement and NHL/AHL routing through CAA. CAA’s hockey practice gives Altberg’s clients access to a much larger contract, development, marketing and NHLPA-certified infrastructure. Because most current Altberg clients play in European leagues, salary data and contract value are usually not publicly disclosed. Publicly visible NHL-linked examples include Andreas Borgman, Anton Wedin and Victor Brattström, all of whom have NHL/AHL experience or NHL draft history. Altberg is best understood as a focused Swedish agency that pairs local player trust with CAA’s global hockey platform.
