Playing career
Sjödin played in the Swedish elite league Elitserien with Brynäs IF from 1986 to 1992, winning the Golden Puck as Sweden's top player in 1991-92. He went on to play in the National Hockey League for the Minnesota North Stars, Dallas Stars, and Quebec Nordiques between 1992 and 1994. He played in Switzerland with HC Lugano from 1994 to 1998, except for a brief period with HC Bolzano in Italy in 1996-97.
Before Sjödin returned to the Swedish Elite League, he played one season with Kloten. He then rejoined his former team, Brynäs IF, which was to become his last.
February 3, 2007, in an away game against Frölunda, putting Brynäs up 2-1 he became the oldest player ever to score a goal in Elitserien; at the age of 41 years, 5 months and 21 days, breaking Börje Salming's record from 1992.
