Peter Forsberg has won gold in the Olympics, in the ice hockey World Championships and the Stanley Cup. - It´s great to get into a growing sport. I´ve always liked floorball and when the chance came up to buy us into an established brand, there was no hesitation on, he said in a long interview with innebandymagazinet.se. A real sport Forsberg played floorball when he was young and is still playing the sport once a week. - Floorball is a real sport nowadays. It would for me to succeed on a floorball court, one needs to have quite quick legs. Hockey and floorball are two totally different sports, Forsberg says. The Swedish ice hockey expert Niklas Wikegård has, during the Swedish sports gala, spoken in negative terms about floorball. Forsberg didn´t understand Wikegård´s statement. - Wikegård is completely wrong there! In the early 90´s it was a whole different level of floorball players compared with today. Nowadays it is a full-time job to be an elite floorball player. The level is very, very high and the players are really, really talented. I have seen many games on TV. The sport has evolved tremendously. Take Wikegård to a floorball game and see how he does, I do not think he would be so great, says Peter Forsberg to innebandymagazinet.se.
