Sebastian Dahm (born in Copenhagen, Denmark on February 28, 1987) is a Danish ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Niagara IceDogs in the Ontario Hockey League. Dahm grew up in the strong youth programme of Rødovre SIK. In 2003 Dahm moved to Malmö Redhawks and played on Malmö's junior teams.
In 2005 Dahm was drafted by the Belleville Bulls of the OHL. He played the 2005-06 season with the Bulls before being traded to the Sarnia Sting in the off-season. Dahm was named to OHL Rookie second team for the 2005–06 season. During the 2006–07 season, Dahm was traded again, this time to the Sudbury Wolves. Dahm enjoyed a strong playoff at the end of the 2006–07 season with the Wolves backstopping the team to the OHL finals where they would eventually succumb to the Plymouth Whalers. He decided to stay with the Wolves for the 2007–08 season as an overager. During the 2007–08 OHL season, Dahm was traded again moving to his fourth team in the OHL, the Niagara IceDogs. He is the first Danish goaltender to play in the Canadian Hockey League.
