Playing career

Wingerli as a youth played with hometown club, Lycksele SK, at the under-18 and fourth tier Division.2 level. Wingerli joined the Skellefteå AIK program as a 15-year old, making his professional senior debut in the Swedish Hockey League during the 2014–15 SHL season on 8 January 2015. [1]

In the 2015–16 season, Wingerli broke out offensively with Skellefteå AIK in the J20 SuperElit, leading the team in points-per-game, while splitting the season between junior and professional. Having secured a two-year senior contract extension with Skellefteå, Wingerli finished the regular season with 2 goals and 3 points in 38 appearances. [2] He featured in 10 post-season games, helping Skellefteå AIK reach the Championship finals against Frölunda HC.

In his fourth season with Skellefteå, Wingerli played his first full season in the SHL in 2017–18, recording 3 goals and 13 points in 52 regular season contests, playing alongside line-mates, Sebastian Ohlsson and Tim Söderlund. Despite his diminutive frame, Wingerli was inserted to use his speed and smarts in the post-season, recording 3 assists in 16 playoff games. Having secured a one-year extension with Skellefteå, in the following 2018–19 season, Wingerli saw increased ice-time and recorded a best of 14 goals and 24 points in 52 regular season games. [3]

After securing an improved two-year contract, Wingerli was named as an alternate captain for Skellefteå entering the 2019–20 season. [4] In 51 appearances, Wingerli finished fourth in team scoring, establishing career marks of 16 goals and 32 points, before the post-season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In his second season within the leadership group, his seventh with Skellefteå in 2020–21, Wingerli featured in a top six scoring role notching 12 goals and 28 points in 50 regular season games. He collected 2 goals in 12 playoff appearances before suffering a semi-final elimination against Rögle BK.

Having made 288 SHL appearances, recording 104 career points, on 4 June 2021, Wingerli exercised an NHL-out clause in his contract with Skellefteå AIK by agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract with the Colorado Avalanche. [5]

After attending the 2021 Colorado Avalanche training camp, Wingerli was re-assigned and played the entirety of the 2021–22 season in the American Hockey League with affiliate, the Colorado Eagles. Used in a top-nine role, Wingerli missed just 4 regular season games and contributed with 10 goals and 22 points through 64 games.

Following a playoff run with the Eagles, while having been unable to earn a recall to the Avalanche, Wingerli as a pending restricted free agent opted to return to Sweden and resume the final year of his contract with Skellefteå AIK for the 2022–23 season on 15 June 2022. [6]

Having concluded his contract with Skellefteå AIK, Wingerli left the SHL to sign a two-year contract with Swiss club, EV Zug of the NL, on 28 April 2023. [7]

International play

Wingerli first represented Sweden as a junior at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Montreal/Toronto, Canada. He collected an assist in 7 games helping Sweden to a fourth place finish.

Wingerli was selected to his first senior team, when he was among the Swedish team announced to compete at the 2021 IIHF World Championship in Riga, Latvia. [8] He made his full international debut for Sweden in the Tournament opening game against Denmark in a 4–3 defeat on 22 May 2021. [9] He scored his first international goal, marking the opening goal in a 4–2 defeat to the Czech Republic on 27 May 2021. [10] He finished the tournament with 3 points through 7 round-robin games, as Sweden failed to progress past the group stage with a 9th place finish.
