After Peja Lindholm's retirement he eventually made his way onto Niklas Edin's team. Their first major competition was the 2009 European Championships held in Aberdeen, Scotland. They lost just two matches in the round robin and went on to win both of their Playoff matches against Team Ulsrud of Norway and Team Stöckli of Switzerland to win the Gold Medal.

Kjäll's team had been selected as Team Sweden for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada and most recently for Team Sweden for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
