[edit] Playing career
Davidsson wears jersey number 76 and is the captain of HV71. In 2005 Davidsson renewed his contract with HV71 until the end of season 2009-10. He is regarded as an able skater with a good eye for the game and is as good as a playmaker as a scorer. He has got fine puck control but lacks the physical aspects of the game to fit in NHL.[1] He has been awarded the Swedish hockey journalists association prize Rinkens riddare (Knight of the Rink) for three consecutive seasons, 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05[2] and the Elitserien referee association prize Årets gentleman (Gentleman of the Year, which resembles Lady Byng Memorial Trophy of NHL) for two consecutive seasons, 2002-03 and 2003-04.[3]
Davidsson played his first Elitserien game on January 14, 1993, in Stockholm, Sweden, against Djurgårdens IF. His first appearance for Sweden's national team was on November 7, 1996, in a game in Helsinki, Finland, against Czech Republic. Davidsson was drafted in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft by Anaheim Ducks with their second choice, the 28th overall selection.[1]
[edit] Off the ice
Johan Davidsson figured in Swedish news when he dated the Finnish violinist Linda Lampenius in 2003.[4] During the 2006 World Championships he appeared as guest commentator on TV3 Sweden.[5]
