The previous forward has an Olympic gold, four Stanley Cup titles and one SM with Luleå in 1996.
In the NHL, there were 1,026 games for the Detroit Red Wings during 15 seasons.
“In the toughest league in the world, you usually get a role in the team, which you have to live up to. Tom's place was in front of the opponent goal, where he obscured the goalkeepers as far as it went and also steered many goals. In that way, he was hugely appreciated in the Detroit Red Wings and won during his time there four Stanley Cups, ”the jury writes in its statement.
