TRAILER
Synopsis
As a boy, he was both short and small. But Peter Forsberg had an enormous winning mentality, that led him to become “the greatest”. In 1992, at the age of 18, he won a World Championship gold medal with the ice hockey Swedish National team and two years later he scored the decisive goal in the Olympic final against Canada when he totally fooled the goaltender during the final penalty; one of the most historic moments in Swedish sport. How an average guy from a town in the north of Sweden became Sweden’s most celebrated hockey player of all time.
