"Ohlund! Ohlund! Ohlund!" the excited crowd yelled, as he gracefully skated towards center ice for the opening game. Ever since Mattias Ohlund stepped on Vancouver ice in 1997, he has recieved an immense amount of attention, and rightfully so.

Here's a young, yet mature, talented defenseman with superb hockey skills who hails from Sweden...He has infinite potential that has won him admiration of hockey fans--and that includes me-- from all around the world. Not to mention, his boyish good looks!If had you ever wanted to "get to know" this phenomenal Swedish Defenseman, you've arrived to the right place. Not many of us fans have the opportunity of a lifetime to meet him personally to tell him what impact he has had on us, and on hockey. This is exactly my situation. That's why I've created "The Mattias Ohlund Palace" to show him my long overdue appriciation for what he's done for the Canucks and the NHL.
