Tomas Holmström

Tomas Holmström (born January 23, 1973) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey left winger who played his entire National Hockey League career with the Detroit Red Wings. He won four Stanley Cup championships with Detroit, in 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2008. During his playing career he was widely considered one of the league's best at screening the opposing goaltender, standing in front of the net to block the goalie's view of the shot, and he was also known for the physical presence that this role in front of the opposition's net demanded. His entire North American career was spent in a single club, which makes him one of the defining Red Wings forwards of the era in which Detroit won four championships.
