Robert Carlsson (born July 2, 1974 in Uppsala, Sweden) is a retired ice hockey forward who played eleven seasons for the TimrÃÂ¥ IK, the last eight of them in the Swedish Elitserien league.
As a junior player, Carlsson began playing for his hometown club Uppsala AIS during the 1992-93 season. The team, later known as Almtuna IS, was struggling in the third/second-level league Division 1 and rarely qualified for play in the second-level Allsvenskan (which still was the spring part of the league at the time). He stayed with the club for six seasons.
After having failed at the NHL drafts, in 1997 Robert moved to the slightly more promising TimrÃÂ¥ IK of a neighbouring division in the same league. The struggle continued at first, but at the end of his third season with the team Carlsson helped TimrÃÂ¥ win promotion to Elitserien in 2000.
On December 6, 2005 Robert Carlsson set the new club record of total games played with 452 in a game against Färjestads BK. The following season he also became the first player to reach 500 games with TimrÃÂ¥ IK, which happened on January 27, 2007 while facing SkellefteÃÂ¥ AIK.
Aged 33, Robert announced his retirement on March 7, 2008 at the end of his eleventh season with TimrÃÂ¥ IK.
