Mats Simon Hjalmarsson (born February 1, 1989) is a Swedish professional ice hockey forward. He is currently playing with Vaasan Sport in the Finnish Liiga.

Playing career

In the 2006–07 season, he played for the Frölunda HC in the J20 SuperElit league and Gislaveds SK in the Division I. He was among the very best players in the Swedish U20 league, scoring 54 points in 41 games. He was consequently selected by the St. Louis Blues, 39th overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.{{cite news | url = http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/blues/story/A518BE42D0246D1E8625730400129AA5?OpenDocument | newspaper = St. Louis Post Dispatch | date = 2007-06-25 | accessdate = 2007-06-25 | title = Blues make selections at the 2007 Entry draft | archive-date = 2007-06-27 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070627181514/http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/blues/story/A518BE42D0246D1E8625730400129AA5?OpenDocument | url-status = dead }}

On June 4, 2014, Hjalmarsson signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League. He was signed under the influence of General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen, who previously drafted Hjalmarrson whilst as a scout for the St. Louis Blues.{{cite web| url = http://bluejackets.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=721613 | title = Blue Jackets sign free agent forward Simon Hjalmarsson | publisher = Columbus Blue Jackets | date = 2014-06-04 | accessdate = 2014-06-04}} After attending the Blue Jackets training camp for the 2014–15 season, Hjalmarsson failed to make an impression with the club and was initially reassigned to American Hockey League affiliate, the Springfield Falcons on October 3, 2014.{{cite web| url = http://bluejackets.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=732732 | title = Blue Jackets assign three players to Springfield | publisher = Columbus Blue Jackets | date = 2014-10-03 | accessdate = 2014-10-03}} With little interest to play North American minor league hockey, Hjalmarsson was placed on unconditional waivers in order to mutually terminate his contract with the Blue Jackets. On October 15, 2014, Hjalmarsson signalled an intent to play in the KHL when his rights were traded by his draft team, HC Sibir Novosibirsk to CSKA Moscow. On October 28, 2014, he eventually signed a two-year contract with the club.{{cite web| url = https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cska-hockey.ru%2Fnews%2FCSKA_dostig_soglasheniya_s_Simonom_Hyalmarssonom&edit-text= | title = CSKA has reached an agreement with Simon Hjalmarsson | publisher = HC CSKA Moscow | date = 2014-10-28 | accessdate = 2014-10-28 | language = Russian}}

Hjalmarsson returned to Sweden after the end of the 2015–16 season, signing for a second time with Frölunda HC of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).{{Cite web|url=http://www.frolundaindians.com/artikel/utb0aipdz-24601/|title=Hjalmarsson returns home | date = 2016-06-25 | publisher = Frölunda HC |access-date=2016-06-25}}
