Peter “Foppa” Forsberg has won everything there is to win – except a national championships with Modo.

In the final against Malmo in 1994, he decided one of the matches in overtime, but Örnsköldsvik team still lost by 2-3 in matches.

Anyone who had a ticket for the match got a custom designed shirt with to wear during the ceremony, of course with the number 21 on his chest.

After a tribute video rolled on the media cube held Forsberg a speech on the ice.

– Male becomes very touched, I get to try to keep me, but it will be well not to go. I one day would be able to stand here on the ice to bask for what I have done for Modo is great. Thank you for giving me the chance to come here, he began his speech, which was broadcast in C More.



“No bastard will ..”

At the end of the speech he praised only his family , especially his mother, Gudrun, who was moved to tears.

– Most may not know that it was my mother who had to put up with my mood after a loss game. You may hear other parents yelling “run over the kid,” but now when you have children, you

realize yourself how stressful it is to hear such things. I just want to say thank you for letting me live my dream, ‘said an emotional “Foppa”.

Then he turned to the fans.

– It feels like you have always been on my side through thick and thin. It’s always fun to come back here.

– You do not need to be concerned about, though I do not live here full time …. No bastard will rip out this Modo heart.
