Åkerblom is one of the few ice hockey players to have sustained a fatal injury on-ice whilst playing for their team. This happened during an exhibition game on 15 October 1995 between his team Mora IK and Brynäs IF at the FM Mattsson Arena in Mora, Sweden, when the 28-year-old Swede had his carotid arteries cut by a skate. A requirement for all ice hockey players to wear a neck guard was introduced in Sweden on 1 January 1996.[2]
