Playing career

After seven seasons with the club he was picked up by the Elitserien club HV71 and played for them from 1999 to 2008.^[1]

During HV71's last pre-season training match against Södertälje SK Remstam was hit by a hip tackle from Stefan Bemström. Remstam fell to the ice with an injured knee and a cut to his forehead. Later it was concluded that he had suffered a concussion and probably one of his ligaments in the knee was badly injured^[2] On October 4, 2006, Remstam played his first 2006–07 Elitserien game after a quick recovery.^[3] After five games of season 2007–08, Remstam broke his contract with HV71 due to lacking motivation of playing ice hockey on a professional level.^[4] He finished the season, first with KalPa in the Finnish SM-liiga and then Nordsjælland Cobras in the Danish Oddset Ligaen. In the 2008–09 pre-season he signed with Borås HC in the Swedish tier two division HockeyAllsvenskan.^[5]
