Peter Forsberg is my favorite hockey player and always has been, he is #21, and I always try to pick the closest number to 21 that I can get on my hockey teams. He is also a very nice person judging by his press conferences and interviews, I think he is the greatest hockey player ever and he is god, he has also always played for Sweden in the Olympics and World Cups. Whenever he is not hurt his team wins because of him.
