'''Ole Eskild Dahlstrøm''' (born 4 March 1970 in [[Oslo]], [[Norway]]) is a former professional [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[ice hockey]] player.

==Playing career==
Dahlstrøm broke onto the Norwegian hockey scene 1987/88 playing for [[Furuset Ishockey|Furuset]]. The following season, still as a junior aged player, he ended up on the IIHF Division 1 All Star team when he helped Norway to promotion for the 1990 IIHF World Championship in [[Switzerland]].

He went to [[Örebro IK|Örebro]] in the Swedish Division One for the 1988/89 season but came back to his native Furuset after only one season in [[Sweden]]. He then played three more seasons for Furuset before signing with [[Storhamar Dragons|Storhamar]] prior to the 1992/93 season. He scored five goals in his first game<ref>[http://www.dragons.no/statistikk/content.asp?menuItem=20 Storhamar Dragons – Kamper – 92–93<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> for Storhamar against [[Trondheim Black Panthers|Trondheim]]. In 527 games with Storhamar he scored 249 goals and 351 assists. Storhamar won five Norwegian Cups in that span. His Storhamar tenure was briefly interrupted when Dahlstrøm went to [[Adler Mannheim]] of [[Germany]] before the 1997/98 season. He also won the [[Deutsche Eishockey Liga|DEL]] championship that year.

He made the [[GET-ligaen|Norwegian All-Star team]] four times, and played 96 games for Team Norway. In 1996/97 he won the [[Norwegian Ice Hockey Federation]]'s [[Golden puck (NIHF)|Golden Puck]] as the best Norwegian player of the year.

He was [[NHL Entry Draft|drafted]] by the [[Minnesota North Stars]] in [[1990 NHL Entry Draft|1990]]. He was selected in the 11th round (218th overall).
