Athletic career

[edit]

Ice hockey

[edit]

In 1929, Lundell started to play hockey with Hammarby IF in Elitserien, Sweden's top tier.[2]

He won five Swedish championships – in 1932, 1933, 1936, 1937 and 1942 – with Hammarby,[3][4] the club's first domestic titles in its history.[5]

He retired from playing hockey in 1942. In total, Lundell made 183 competitive appearances for Hammarby IF, scoring 28 goals.[6][7]

Lundell won 27 caps for the Sweden national team,[6] and represented his country at four major tournaments, such as the 1936 Winter Olympics.[8] He is a recipient of the honorary award Stora Grabbars Märke, which is handed out by Swedish Ice Hockey Association.[9]

Football

[edit]

Lundell started his football career as a youngster at local club IK Mode in Stockholm.[2]

Between 1929 and 1941, Lundell made 210 league appearances as a solid defender for Hammarby IF, mostly in the Swedish second tier Division 2.[2]

In 1939–40, Hammarby played one season in Allsvenskan, the domestic top league, with Lundell featuring in all 22 fixtures, but was relegated immediately.[10][11]

Bandy

[edit]

In 1928, Lundell took up bandy and helped establish Hammarby IF among the top bandy clubs in Sweden at the beginning of the 1930s.[12]
