Career
Olofsson began her club career with Modo in the 2007–08 Riksserien season, recording one assist in 13 games. In 2013, she was named Hockey Woman of the Year by the Swedish Ice Hockey Journalists' Association. She served as an assistant captain from 2011 until her retirement in 2018, but returned for the 2018–19 season after a few months away. In July 2019, she signed with Brynäs IF, partly because former Modo teammate Erika Grahm was there. After one season, she left Brynäs after failing to agree on a contract and seeking a new challenge. She subsequently signed with Luleå ahead of the 2020–21 SDHL season. On the international stage, Olofsson played one game for the Swedish under-18 team at the 2009 IIHF World Women's U18 Championships. She later made over 160 senior national team appearances, debuting at the World Championships in 2012. She was selected for the 2014 Winter Olympics, scoring one goal in six games, and played six games at the 2018 Winter Olympics without recording any points.
