John Fredrik Michael Pettersson (born June 10, 1987) is a Swedish professional ice hockey right winger, currently playing for HC Dinamo Minsk in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and previously played for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod and HC Donbass (also KHL), for HC Lugano (Switzerland) and Frölunda HC of the Swedish Elitserien. He has played with the Swedish national team on several occasions and was a member of gold and bronze medal winning squads at the World Hockey Championship.
A native of Gothenburg, Sweden, Pettersson played junior hockey in his hometown for Frölunda HC's Under-18 and J20 SuperElit teams between 2002 and 2005. Pettersson described himself as being an "energy player", using his skating ability and hard work to help his team. He was a member of Frölunda teams that won the J18 gold medal in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and also won gold with the J20 team in 2005.
The Edmonton Oilers selected Pettersson in the fifth round of the 2005 National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft, 157th overall. He chose to complete his junior career in North America. He joined the Western Hockey League (WHL)'s Calgary Hitmen, who selected him with the 48th pick in the 2005 Canadian Hockey League import draft. Pettersson adapted quickly; he scored 10 goals and 17 points in his first 19 WHL games, en route to a 22-goal, 43-point season in 2005–06. He improved to 50 points in 2006–07, but after the Oilers declined to sign him to an NHL contract, Pettersson returned to Sweden to begin his professional career.
