Peter Forsberg

Peter Forsberg was one of the most skilled and complete forwards of his era. Known for his elite vision, powerful skating, and fearless physical play, Forsberg made every shift count.

Drafted 6th overall in 1991, he became a franchise cornerstone for the Colorado Avalanche, helping them win two Stanley Cups (1996, 2001).

Despite an injury-riddled career, Forsberg recorded over a point per game and was dominant whenever healthy. He won the Hart Trophy in 2003 and was a perennial All-Star.

Internationally, Forsberg starred for Sweden, winning two Olympic gold medals and two World Championship titles, becoming a member of the exclusive Triple Gold Club. His blend of finesse, toughness, and clutch performances made him a fan favorite and a nightmare for opponents.
