Peter Forsberg is a Swedish former centre nicknamed Foppa, known for his vision, his physical play and his passing. Injuries shortened his career, yet he ranks among the best in NHL history in points per game. He won two Stanley Cups with the Colorado Avalanche and the Hart Trophy as league most valuable player in 2003. For Sweden he played in four Winter Olympics, winning gold in 1994, when he scored the deciding shootout goal, and again in 2006, and he won World Championship titles in 1992 and 1998. His second Olympic gold made him a two-time member of the Triple Gold Club, and he entered the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2013.
