Drafted 98th overall by the Ducks in the 2000 National Hockey League Entry Draft from Swedish side Luleå High Frequency, Rönnqvist played 38 regular season games during the 2000-2001 National Hockey League season, scoring four assists and collecting 14 penalty minutes. After spending the entirety of the 2001-2002 season with the Ducks" AHL affiliate the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks, Rönnqvist returned to Luleå where he remained until his retirement in 2005, caused by an injury. Rönnqvist coached Almtuna in the Swedish secondary league, almost clinching a surprising promotion to the Swedish Elite League in 2010.
That earned Rönnqvist a contract to coach Luleå, his former club as a player.
