Nebraska-Omaha has gotten a commitment from another overseas player.
Chris Heisenberg's Recruiting Page is reporting that the Mavericks have gotten a commitment from Aleksi Holmberg, who plays for HIFK Finland. The commitment looks to be for the 2007 season. Holmberg plays for the same team in Finland that incoming freshmen defenseman Juha Uotila played for. Omaha also has a commitment for 2009 from Norweigan player Fredrik Csisar, making three Scandinavian signings in the past year for Omaha.
UPDATE:
It seems that Holmberg's team traveled to the US to play some preseason games against USHL teams before the Buc Bowl. Here is his team's profile of him. As you can see, he is the team's captain, and goes by the nickname "Allu" I'm still working on translating the thing on the bottom, but it's slow going as Western College Hockey only has a Norwegian Translator and no Finnish Translator. So far though, I've got that the first word is "Experienced" If anybody can translate that for me, I'd love to know what it says.

Translation of Aleksi Holmberg's profile:
Experienced captain leads his team with firm grip. Never gives way to anybody. A loud player who speeds the team up.
