Hockey's Future has a good bio:
Mattsson is a very tall defender with good weight and some real snarl. Has experience with men and has shown himself to be even more adept playing against older players than boys his age. Seeks physical play in solving problems and handling defensive situations in his zone. Loves to give it to smaller forwards who challenge him and think they can slip by taking the low route. Puts his long reach to good use, constantly bothering opposition attackers. Positioning is usually sound and he shows no hesitation in blocking shots. Mattsson has a decent first pass and has shown an aptitude for blueline play, although the offensive game doesn’t yet appear to be the strength of his game. Is good at keeping pucks in the offensive zone as well as generally blocking passes.
