Highlights
4-time Norway Gullpucken (Player of the Year) 4
1-time SHL Most Points 1
1-time SHL Most Valuable Player (Guldhjälmen) 1

Has fantastic technical skills and great passing ability. Can finish with aplomb. A magician who can do spectacular things with the puck. Great vision and can man the power play point. Defensively responsible and doesn't mind heavy traffic.
Lacks size and strength. Not a great physical player.
