Playing career

Rahm played for his youth team Sunne IK in Sweden's Division 1. After having been dressed as a backup goaltender sporadically since the 2002–03 season, he took over as the starting goaltender for the 2005–06 season. Playing in 22 games, he posted a .917 save percentage (SVS%) and was ranked as the second best goaltender in save percentage in Division 1 E that season, despite that Sunne finished second to last in their division.

During the 2006–07 season, Rahm played in 28 games and improved his save percentage to .921, again ranked second in Division 1 E, but Sunne's sixth place finish did not qualify them for a playoff spot and they moved on to play in the spring series where Rahm posted an impressive .942 save percentage with two shutouts in five games. During that season, Rahm was briefly loaned to Södertälje SK in HockeyAllsvenskan where he dressed as a backup for two games,[1] and to Frölunda HC in Elitserien where he joined as an extra goaltender during practices.

After that season, he signed a two-year contract with Frölunda,[1] and was assigned to their HockeyAllsvenskan affiliate Borås HC,[2] but due to a groin injury during the pre-season, Rahm started the 2007–08 season with his former team Sunne in Division 1.[3]

On August 5, 2010, it was revealed that on June 28, 2010, Rahm tested positive for use of doping. The test showed signs of anabolic steroids.[4] On October 6, 2010, Rahm was suspended for two years.[5] Färjestad immediately cancelled his contract with the team.[6]
