Einar "Hund-Eje" Olsson (July 9, 1896 – January 24, 1925) was a Swedish hockey player, who competed in the 1924 Winter Olympics. He was a member of the Swedish National Team, which finished fourth in the tournament. He played four matches as goaltender.
He also played for Sweden at the European Championships in 1922 and 1924. At the club level, Olsson was a member of IK Göta Ishockey.
In those days, Swedish hockey was still being played on lakes. The 1925 winter was unusually mild, and "Hund-Eje" became its most notable casualty when he drowned in Lake Norrviken while ice skating.[1]
