Robert Carlsson

Robert Carlsson (born July 2, 1974 in Uppsala, Sweden) is a retired ice hockey forward who played eleven seasons for the Timrå IK, the last eight of them in the Swedish Elitserien league.

After having failed at the NHL drafts, in 1997 Robert moved to the slightly more promising Timrå IK of a neighbouring division in the same league.

The struggle continued at first, but at the end of his third season with the team Carlsson helped Timrå win promotion to Elitserien in 2000.

The following season he also became the first player to reach 500 games with Timrå IK, which happened on January 27, 2007 while facing Skellefteå AIK.

Aged 33, Robert announced his retirement on March 7, 2008 at the end of his eleventh season with Timrå IK.
