Linnea Johansson (born 5 April 2002) is a Swedish ice hockey forward , currently playing with Linköping HC Dam in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). She was a member of the Swedish junior national team during 2016 to 2020, and participated in the IIHF Women's World U18 Championship in 2018 and 2020 .
Playing career
Johansson grew up playing with boys, including Malmö Redhawks defenceman Helge Grans , at the Tre Kronors Hockeyskola in her native town of Ljungby . [1] At the age of 14, she joined Karlskrona HK, playing with their women's team in the Damettan and in the club's junior system. The following season, she joined IF Troja-Ljungby and HV71 Dam , splitting her time between HV71 in the SDHL, IF Troja-Ljungby women's team in the Damettan , and IF Troja-Ljungby U16 in the U16 Elit. She made her SDHL debut in 2016–17 , after being called up by HV71, getting two assists in seven games as well as playing in four playoff games. [2] After putting up 7 points in 25 games with HV71 in 2017–18 , and growing increasingly dissatisfied with the way girls were being treated in the mixed Troja-Ljungby junior teams, she left the city to sign with Linköping HC. [3] [4]
She scored 7 points in 19 games in her first year with Linköping before being sidelined due to a bad concussion suffered with the national U18 team. She would miss the first nine games of the 2019–20 SDHL season as well before returning to the ice. [5]
