Playing career edit
Cederqvist made his Swedish Hockey League (SHL) debut for the Växjö Lakers during the 2018-19 season where he played 33 regular season games, scoring four goals and four assists for eight points.[1]
In his second SHL season with the Lakers in 2019–20, Cederqvist was unable to build on his rookie campaign, collecting just one goal and one assist in 30 games, while enduring loan stints in the HockeyAllsvenskan with Almtuna IS and BIK Karlskoga.[2]
Out of contract with Växjö in the off-season, Cederqvist left the SHL club, securing a one-year contract with HockeyAllsvenskan club, Tingsryds AIF, on 5 June 2020.[3]
Following a successful season with Tingsryds, Cederqvist returned to the SHL, agreeing to a one-year contract with Djurgårdens IF on 19 April 2021.[4] In the following 2021–22 season, Cederqvist enjoyed a breakout season, recording career highs with 14 goals, 18 assists and 32 points in 49 regular season games.
Unable to prevent Djurgårdens IF suffering relegation to the HockeyAllsvenskan, Cederqvist was signed by draft club, the Buffalo Sabres, in agreeing to a two-year, entry-level contract on 14 June 2022.[5]
On 11 January 2024, Cederqvist was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for future considerations.[6]
