Congratulations to Tommy - he is the one who gave us the right answer. This young player whos photo I have took from Sweden early 70s newspapper is INGE HAMMARSTREM
Inge played his first hockey games at the top national league level in 1963 for Timrå IK, at the age of 15. The 1968–69 season he left for Brynäs IF where he would win the Swedish Championship 4 times (1970, 1971, 1972 and later in 1980).
In 1973, Hammarström became the first player from Timrå IK ever to play in the NHL. He went on to spend five seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and two for the St. Louis Blues.
His career ended in 1982, aged 35, after another three seasons with Brynäs IF.
Do you know that Inge has a son Mikael playing hockey as well?
