Playing career

Dahlstrøm broke onto the Norwegian hockey scene 1987/88 playing for Furuset. The following season, still as a junior aged player, he ended up on the IIHF Division 1 All Star team when he helped Norway to promotion for the 1990 IIHF World Championship in Switzerland.

In 527 games with Storhamar he scored 249 goals and 351 assists. Storhamar won five Norwegian Cups in that span. His Storhamar tenure was briefly interrupted when Dahlstrøm went to Adler Mannheim of Germany before the 1997/98 season. He also won the DEL championship that year.

He made the Norwegian All-Star team four times, and played 96 games for Team Norway. In 1996/97 he won the Norwegian Ice Hockey Federation's Golden Puck as the best Norwegian player of the year.

He was drafted by the Minnesota North Stars in 1990. He was selected in the 11th round (218th overall).
