Career

Simon Hjalmarsson began his career as an ice hockey player in the youth department of Gislaveds SK , where he was active until 2005. The winger then played for four years for the junior teams of Frölunda HC , for whose professional team he made his debut in the Elitserien , the top Swedish division, in the 2007/08 season , in which he only played one game for his club. Parallel to the game with Frölunda he ran from 2007 to 2009 as a loan player for Borås HC in the second-rate HockeyAllsvenskan . He was then selected in the third round in the KHL Junior Draft 2009 as the 51st player from HK Sibir Novosibirsk . In the 2007 NHL Entry Draft , the St. Louis Blues selected him as the 39th player in the second round. However, he was not obliged by either draft team in the following period. Instead, he ran in the 2009/10 season for the Elitserien participant Rögle BK , with whom he had to accept relegation to the HockeyAllsvenskan at the end of the season.

For the 2010/11 season Hjalmarsson was committed by Luleå HF from the Elitserien, for whom he played until 2012. He then played for Linköpings HC for two years .

From July 2014 he was under contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets and took part in the Blue Jackets training camp. He was then given to the farm team from the American Hockey League , the Springfield Falcons . Hjalmarsson decided against a move to the AHL and was therefore put on the waiver list to be able to terminate his contract. In mid-October he signaled his intention to change to the KHL , whereupon HK CSKA Moscow secured the transfer rights to Hjalmarsson from HC Sibir Novosibirsk . At the end of the month he signed a two-year contract with ZSKA.

After the end of the 2015/16 season he moved back to his home country, in June 2016 he signed with the first division club Frölunda HC , where he was already active as a youth and at the beginning of his professional career.

International

For Sweden , Hjalmarsson took part in the U18 Junior World Championship in 2007 and the U20 Junior World Championship in 2009 . At the U18 World Cup in 2007 he and his team won the bronze medal, at the U20 World Cup in 2009 the silver medal. At the 2013 World Cup in Stockholm and Helsinki , he was part of the men's national team and won the gold medal with it.
