Andreas Dackell was a defense-minded right-winger, who scored few goals but played an important role killing penalties and when trying to hold leads. Dackell started his career with Gävle GIK in 1990 and from 1992-96 played with Brynäs IF, winning the Swedish title with them in 1993 and leading the Swedish Championships in scoring in 1996. In 1996, Dackell was drafted by the Ottawa Senators of the NHL and played with them until 2001, when he was traded to the Montréal Canadiens. Dackell played three seasons with the Canadiens, before returning to Europe in 2004. From 2004-12, he again played with Brynäs IF and won the Rinkens Riddare award as the most sportsmanlike player at the 2011 Swedish Championships and won his second Swedish title in 2012, although he played only 16 games during the 2011-12 season due to a knee injury, which caused him to retire from hockey after the 2011-12 season. Internationally, Dackell won an Olympic gold in 1994 and won silver at the 1995 and bronze at the 1994 World Championships. He also played at the 1996 World Championships, where Sweden finished sixth.
