In the 1985 NHL Entry Draft he was selected in the eleventh round as a total of 217th player by the New York Rangers , for which he then never played. Instead, he made his debut in the Elitserien , the highest Swedish division, for Leksand's professional team in the 1985/86 season . In his rookie year , he scored four goals and three assists in 19 games. In the following years, the winger was able to work out a regular place in Leksand and was one of the players with the best point yield within his team.
