Friend’s words
The biggest achievement was a silver medal in 1980 and Olsson was also part of the very first JVM, which was played in Finland in 1976. The former Frölunda teammate Anders Broström fondly remembers his friend.
– For me, Magnus was a genuine teammate and human being. He started as a back but was later promoted as a left forward, which then became the so-called “Catastrophe Five”! He meant an awful lot to our success, he tells Hockey Sweden.

– Rest in peace Magnus! Sometime in the future we will play together again.
