Jari Tolsa Biography and Trivia

Cult/Star player for Frölunda HC U20

Dragkedjan
Tolsa was one part of the famous Dragkedjan. The young trio of Tolsa, Magnus Kahnberg, and center Joel Lundqvist quickly developed chemistry in '01-02 and played together until Tolsa and Lundqvist left Frölunda in 2006. In 2011, the two wingers returned to Frölunda and the line was reunited for parts of two seasons.-Erik K. Piri, Elite Prospects
