Career
Jönsson started his professional career in Rögle BK and has also played in the NHL (for the New York Islanders and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim), but chose moving home after one season because he wanted to be with his family. Jönsson is a highly respected player in the Swedish national team. During his career, he was the captain of Team Sweden, unless Mats Sundin was available. On 11 February 2007, he played in his 273rd game for the national team, breaking the record held by Jonas Bergqvist, eventually playing in 285 games for the national team.
Jönsson won Guldpucken (Sweden's player of the year) in 1997.
As of the World Championship 2006 he is the only player who has won Olympic gold, World Championship gold and the national (Elitserien) playoffs during one season.
On 9 April 2009, he retired from professional hockey.[1] Färjestads BK, for whom Jönsson played 13 seasons, has retired no. 21 in his honor.
Prior to the 2009–10 season, Jönsson was named an assistant general manager of Färjestad. Prior to that season's playoffs, he was named an assistant coach of Färjestad. In the 2010–11 season Jönsson continued to work for Färjestad as an assistant coach. After the 2010–11 season, however, it was announced that he had decided to leave Färjestad as an assistant coach.[2]
International
He has earned his two Olympic gold medals, two World Championship gold medals and five national gold medals and is one of Sweden's best known hockey players.
Private
His brother Kenny Jönsson is also a well-known Swedish ice hockey player who spent 11 seasons in the NHL, representing Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Islanders.
