Playing career

Born in Kungälv, Axelsson moved to Västra Frölunda as a youngster. He was drafted 192nd overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings while playing for Frölunda HC U-20 team. He advanced to the senior team for the 2005–06 season and spent two seasons there before signing a two-year contract with Timrå in April 2007. After four years with the club, he headed back to Frölunda HC, where he played until the end of the 2015–16 campaign, in which he helped win the Swedish national championship and the Champions Hockey League title.

Being plagued by injuries for a long time, he announced the end of his playing career in late October 2016.
