Peter Mattias "Foppa" Forsberg (; born July 20, 1973) is a Swedish retired professional ice hockey player and the current assistant general manager of Modo Hockey. Known for his on-ice vision and physical play, Forsberg is considered one of the greatest players of his generation. Although his career was shortened by persistent injuries, as of 2014, he stands eighth all-time in career points-per-game〔(【引用サイトリンク】url =http://www.hockey-reference.com/leaders/points_per_game_career.html )〕 and fifth all-time in career assists-per-game〔(【引用サイトリンク】url =http://www.hockey-reference.com/leaders/assists_per_game_career.html )〕 in the NHL, only behind Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Bobby Orr and Sidney Crosby. His 19-year professional career includes 13 years in the National Hockey League (NHL), where he won two Stanley Cups with the Colorado Avalanche, as well as several individual honors including the Hart Memorial Trophy in 2003. As of the end of the 2013–14 season, he is the fourth-highest all-time Swedish point scorer in the NHL regular season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url =http://www.hhof.com/htmlFaceOff/r&r-C.shtml#s )〕 Before his short-lived comeback season in 2011, Forsberg never had a negative plus-minus rating, giving him an overall career rating of +238. Representing Sweden in international play, Forsberg competed in four Winter Olympics, two World Cups and five World Championships, as well as one European Junior Championship and two World Junior Championships, where he holds a scoring record of 31 points in seven games that some say may never be broken.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=NHL )〕 He won four gold medals with Sweden in his career, winning titles at the 1992 and 1998 World Championships and the 1994 and 2006 Winter Olympics. Combined with his two Stanley Cup championships in NHL play, he is a member of the Triple Gold Club and the only Swede who has won each of the three competitions twice. In 2013, he was inducted to the IIHF Hall of Fame,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=IIHF )〕 and in 2014, he was elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame. ==Early life== Peter Forsberg was born in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, the son of Kent Forsberg, a former coach of Modo Hockey and the Swedish national team.〔(ESPNMAG.com - Finding Forsberg )〕 Forsberg was coached by his father for a significant part of his career: the two teamed up from 1991–94 with Modo and later for the national team in the 1996 World Cup, 1998 Olympics and 1998 World Championship, which Sweden won. Forsberg played minor hockey alongside boyhood friend Markus Näslund, who was also born in Örnsköldsvik. Born ten days apart, the two were well-acquainted while playing on separate youth teams before joining together on the regional Ångermanland all-star team for the under-16 TV-pucken national championship in 1988. They went on to compete alongside each other at the junior and men's level for both Modo Hockey and the Swedish national team. Forsberg and Näslund also attended high school together and had summer jobs at the age of 18 with the same electrical company that employed both Näslund's mother and Forsberg's father. Growing up, Forsberg's idol was Elitserien and NHL star Håkan Loob.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url =http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid686960690?bclid=674419852&bctid=979073537 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Forsberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
