Mattias Ohlund

Swedish-born professional hockey player Mattias Öhlund plays defense for the National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks.

Öhlund was drafted as the Canucks' first choice during the 1994 entry draft, but was unable to agree on a contract with the Vancouver team for the next three seasons, so he remained to play hockey in his home country. Shortly before the 1997-1998 season, the Toronto Maple Leafs offered Öhlund a contract that the Canucks were forced to match if they wanted to maintain his rights. With contract negotiations settled, Öhlund joined the Canucks for the first game of the season and has been an integral member of the team's defense ever since.

Near the close of the 2007-2008 season, Öhlund scored his 87th goal to become the highest scoring defenseman in Canucks' history.
