Career

[edit]

Holtet started his professional career in 2000 when he signed with Swedish Elitserien club Färjestads BK. Between 2000 and 2002 he played with the club's junior team. At the start of the 2002-03 season, he was assigned to one of Färjestad's farm teams, Skåre BK. Later that season he was moved to Farjestad's other farm team, Bofors IK of HockeyAllsvenskan. Holtet played with Bofors the rest of that season and also the next.

After the 2004-05 season, Holtet decided to sign with the Stars, who had drafted him three years earlier. In his first season with the Stars' organization, Holtet spent time with the ECHL team Louisiana IceGators and the AHL team Houston Aeros. The second season, Holtet played with another AHL team, the Iowa Stars. After three seasons in the AHL, he signed a two-year contract with his former club Färjestads BK[1].

Holtet was forced to retire in 2015 due to head injuries.[1]

International

Holtet has represented Norway in several international tournaments. In 2006, he played with Norway at the Ice Hockey World Championship in Latvia. He also represented Norway at the 2008 IIHF World Championship in Canada.
