Drafted 98th overall by the Ducks in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft from Swedish side Lulea HF, Ronnqvist played 38 regular season games during the 2000–01 NHL season, scoring four assists and collecting 14 penalty minutes.

Ronnqvist coached Almtuna in the Swedish secondary league, almost clinching a surprising promotion to the Swedish Elite League in 2010. That earned Ronnqvist a contract to coach Lulea, his former club as a player.
