In 1924 he was a member of the Swedish ice hockey team which finished fourth in the Olympic ice hockey tournament. He played four matches as goalkeeper.

In those days, Swedish hockey was still being played on lakes. The 1925 winter was unusually mild, and "Hund-Eje" became its most prolific casualty when he drowned in Lake Norrviken when ice skating.
