Johan Motin
Swedish ice hockey player
Johan Motin (born October 10, 1989) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman. He is currently playing with HIFK of the Finnish Liiga. Motin was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the 4th round (103rd overall) of the 2008 NHL entry draft, and played one game with them during the 2009–10 season.
Playing career
Motin joined Färjestads BK's junior team in 2005. The following year, Motin was called up to play with Färjestads' senior team. He made his debut against Timrå IK on December 7, 2006. Since that game, he became a regular player in Färjestads' line-up. Motin was ranked as a top prospect by the ISS, who in December 2007, ranked him as the 13th pick of the draft.
During his second season in the Elitserien, Motin struggled to get ice time, and in December 2007, he was loaned to Bofors IK to get some more ice time and be better prepared for the World Junior Championships. After the WJC, he returned to Färjestad and got an assist on a goal by Esa Pirnes in his first game back.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Johan Motin” as swedish ice hockey player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as swedish ice hockey player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q446429. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2008, 2009 and 2005.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
