Hockey Heroes: Peter Forsberg

It's been said Peter Forsberg has the meanness of Messier, the dirtiness of Linseman, the smarts of Gretzky, and the strength of Trottier--and this lively biography, filled with fantastic photos of the superstar in action, proves just how true this statement is. He has won the Calder Memorial Trophy as best rookie of the year and, in 1995-96, had a terrific 116-point season that propelled his team to the Stanley Cup victory. But, perhaps his greatest moment of glory came when he made Swedish hockey history by scoring against Canada in a sudden-death shootout to clinch the Olympic gold medal in Lilliehammer. In honor of that achievement, Sweden issued a postage stamp bearing his image!
