His ice hockey career ended in tragedy.
But today, Tobias Forsberg received a well-deserved sentimental tribute at the Tejera Arena.
– Leksing until I die, now we’re crushing on Luleå! , as he says in his speech.
There have been a total of eight seasons in Lexand Tobias Forsberg.
Today he returned to the Tejera Arena and was widely praised on the ice before landing against Lulea.
There he went on the red carpet with his older brother (Johann Forsberg, former SHL player) and his wife Philippa.
Highly praised
Forsberg thanked his family, Lexand and his supporters for all the support before he then ended with the words:
– Hope until I die, now we’re crushing on Lulia!
Visiting Norbuttings also take part in the celebration of Forsberg, who is originally from Petio.
Visitors will play the match with his number 19 on their helmet.
It was during a match in the Svenskan between Leksand and Mutuna about four years ago that he hit his head in the side line, broke his neck and was paralyzed.
Live in Gustavsberg
Lexands fans and all hockey players in Sweden have noticed him in different ways over the years. This time it was the club that called for the honour.
Lexand striker Martin Carlson is a former Forsberg teammate.
– I think he deserves that tribute. He told LIF-TV before the match that he would probably be emotional.
Forsberg now lives in Gustavsburg and is lecturing about the accident that changed his life.
