Ekman Larsson is a highly skilled defenseman blessed with excellent hockey sense and impressive skating ability. He moves very smoothly and has incredible mobility. Also, he is very skilled with the puck and a capable playmaker with the potential to put up a good amount of points. Very poised and cool with and without the puck and rarely gets caught off guard.

In his own end, he plays it fairly simple with good timing and positioning as well as impressive stick work. He plays the body at times, but not very frequently. Needs to become stronger and add more muscles, which would improve his defensive game even more.

swedish_flag Swedish bio
Oliver Ekman Larsson har rötterna i en riktig idrottssläkt där pappa Patrik Larsson var en mycket duktig back hos både Karlskrona IK men även under ett par säsonger i Tingsryds AIF. Morfar Kenneth Ekman fanns med i Tre Kronors trupp till OS 1972 och morfars bror Gösta Ekman sågs spela allsvensk hockey för Frölunda under en säsong. Dessutom spelar brodern Kevin Ekman Larsson i Tingsryds juniorlag och kusinen Zebastian Ilestedt tillhör Malmö sedan säsongen 2009/10.

Lägg därtill också att morfars kusiner är inga mindre än Bröderna Erik, Gösta, Sture och Tomas Fåglum som vann OS brons både 1964 i Tokyo och även 1968 i Mexico City på lagtempo i Cykel.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson var som pojklagsspelare likande lovande i fotboll som ishockey. Men spel i Tingsryds a-lag och spel i juniorlandslaget gjorde att han valde hockey som sin första sport.

Debuterade i juniorlandslagssammanhang 2006/07 då han gjorde elva matcher hos Team 16 landslaget. Stora stjärnor i det landslaget var förutom Ekman Larsson, Magnus Pääjärvi från Malmö och Djurgårdens William Wallén.

Efter att ha debuterat i Tingsryds division 1 lag, blivit utsedd till TV-puckens bästa back, vunnit TV-pucken och tagit plats i både Sveriges Team 17 och Team 18 landslag säsongen 2007/08 så började dom svenska elitklubbarna sukta efter den stora talangen. Men det var den då allsvenska klubben med sportchefen Mikael Lundström, Leksands IF, som fick Ekman Larssons påskrift på ett kontrakt gällande två år.

Debutåret i allsvenskan blev smått sensationell för Ekman Larsson. Tränarduon i Leksand, Tomas Kempe och Tomas Jonsson valde att hålla tillbaka honom lite grann under höstsäsongen. Men när vårsäsongen och kvalserien kom att spelas så var Ekman Larsson en av de spelare som fick mest speltid och totalt sett, trots sina 17 år, kanske lagets bästa back.

Debuterade även som VM-spelare samma säsong då han fick åka till U18 VM i Kanada tillsammans med lagkamraten i Leksand Martin Karlsson.
