Andreas Lilja (born July 13, 1975 in Helsingborg ) is a Swedish ice hockey defender who was last under contract with Rögle BK in HockeyAllsvenskan until summer 2015 . Previously, Lilja played for a total of 13 years in the National Hockey League and played most of the games for the Detroit Red Wings .
Career
Sweden
Andreas Lilja began his career in 1991 in Sweden with the Malmö Redhawks juniors . In 1994/95 he played his first three games in the Elitserien for the Malmö professionals before he was part of the team's regular squad the following season. In 1997/98 he played half of the season at Mora IK in the 1st division in Sweden, but then returned to Malmö, where he played for another two years.
North America
In the 2000 NHL Entry Draft , the Swede was selected by the Los Angeles Kings from the National Hockey League in the second round at position 54 and only a few months later moved to North America. There he spent the following season 2000/01 for the most part with the farm team Lowell Lock Monsters in the lower class American Hockey League and came on only two missions for the Kings in the top division of North America. In the 2001/02 season he was already more often in the NHL squad, but was not able to assert himself as a regular player. The 2002/03 season began Lilja for the Kings, but was transferred to the Florida Panthers in November 2002 , where he was then part of the regular squad and played until the summer of 2004. He then signed a one-year contract with the Nashville Predators , but he never played for the team because the 2004/05 NHL season was canceled due to the lockout and he was later not given a new contract.
During the lockout , the Swede moved to his home country and played the season at Mora IK. In February 2005, Lilja was suspected, together with Henrik Tallinder and Kristian Huselius, of having raped a 22-year-old. The three ice hockey players were identified through images from a surveillance camera. Lilja was then suspended by Mora IK, but the case against the three Swedes was dropped in June 2005 due to lack of evidence.
In the summer of 2005 he received a contract with the Detroit Red Wings and played all games of the 2005/06 season . He was also used for the championship favorites in the playoffs , but the team was eliminated in the first round. Shortly after the end of the season, the Red Wings extended the contract with Lilja for two years. In the 2006/07 season Lilja only made 57 appearances due to an injury and scored his only goal of the season in the Western Conference final of the play-offs. After the 2009/10 season , Lilja became a free agent and took part in a training camp for the San Jose Sharks , but received no contract. In October 2010, the attacker was hired by the Anaheim Ducks , who responded to Andy Sutton's injury . On July 1, 2011, he signed a contract as a free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers and was mainly used in the NHL in the 2011/12 season , before he spent the following year mostly with the farm team Adirondack Phantoms in the AHL.
Return to Sweden
In April 2013 Lilja decided to return to Sweden and was signed by Rögle BK from HockeyAllsvenskan . There he acted as captain in the 2013/14 season and achieved promotion to the Svenska Hockeyligan with the team at the end of the season . After the 2014/15 season , the Swede received no new contract and has been without a club since then.
