Bengt Ohlson, born 10 March 1943, is a Swedish former ice hockey player and manager.[1] acting as the head coach for the Swedish national team during the 1980-1981 season where Sweden won the silver medal during the 1981 IIHF World Championship following an otherwise weak season[2] but resigned after being threatened to death.[3]

Winning the silver medal, he became popular known as "Silverfisken" by the Swedes, after being called "Torsken" following the Swedish fiasco during the 1980 Izvestia Tournament.[4]
