While the National Hockey League works to salvage a season and acquiesce the labor tensions, Peter Forsberg already has some of his problems solved. The Colorado Avalanche Star announced Sunday that he will play in Sweden, even if the NHL saves its season, according to an AP article on ESPN.com.
Forsberg, along with several other National Hockey League stars, will rejoin his former Swedish team, Modo with a one-year contract. The former MVP of the league said that it felt right he come back to his former team. Things will feel at home for Forsberg, who will be coached by his father, Kent Forsberg.
Commenting on his return to Sweden, Forsberg indicated that he had always wanted to come back and play one more year for his former team. He was all too eager to finally make that dream come true.
Modo, with the acquistion of Forsberg and other elite players, becomes the instant favorite to win the Swedish League.
