Jan Allan Sandström (born January 24, 1978) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player[1][2] who last played with the Luleå HF team in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), where he has played since 2001. He was born in Luleå, but grew up in Piteå.[3]
Sandström is known for preferring the Wrist shot technique when shooting the puck. This has earned him the nicknames Janne Wristhot and Janne the Wrister.
