Playing career edit
As a child, Tedenby developed in the minor ice hockey department of Jarveds IF in her hometown of Örnsköldsvik, on the east coast of Sweden in the north-central historical province of Ångermanland.[2] She attended the NIU hockeygymnasium[a] of Örnsköldsvik Gymnasium and MODO Hockey, which is known for having produced a number of successful players, including icons of Swedish ice hockey Peter Forsberg, Victor Hedman, Maria Lindh, Emma Nordin, and Daniel and Henrik Sedin.[6][7]
Her debut in the premier senior national league, the Riksserien (called Swedish Women's Hockey League since 2016), was made with MODO Hockey Dam in the 2014–15 season, at age fifteen. Playing with MODO, Tedenby steadily improved season-over-season from 7 points (6 goals+1 assists) in 27 games as a rookie in 2014–15 to 13 points (9+4) in 35 games in 2015–16, 22 points (15+7) in 34 games in 2016–17, and 26 points (15+11) in 36 games in 2017–18, her final season with the club.
