After 13 seasons in the NHL when skating became unbearable after multiple surgeries on his feet,
Peter Forsberg
turned to investing.
"My last maybe eight years in the League, I had so many surgeries just off and on, so I was kind of prepared for a while there that my career was going to end," Forsberg said. "I did some investments before and kind of right after I retired, I went back to school for a year (in Sweden where he studied economics).

"I kind of jumped right into the business life right after I retired from hockey, but I think when I played I kind of thought I was going to take a year or two off and not do anything, but that didn't happen. It's hard to not do anything."

Forsberg has invested with his father, Kent, and fiancé, Nicole, in multiple companies.
"We do a lot of things," Forsberg said. "A lot of investments. We have a shoe brand INUIKII], we have a golf course [Veckefjärdens Golf Club | Forsberg's NHL Centennial portrait]*
Forsberg said the best advice he ever received was to have fun, and he is not ruling out a return to hockey after previously being an assistant general manager for Modo of the Swedish Hockey League.
"I don't know, I might go back to hockey a little later," Forsberg said. "The kids are probably going to play and maybe one day I'll return to Modo, but I am not sure. It's not on the map right now, though."
Forsberg is enjoying his retirement back home in Sweden with Nicole and their three children.
"They haven't really started skating yet," Forsberg said. "I'm not going to force them into hockey, but I'm not going to stop them from playing hockey either. Our 5-year-old [Lennox] started skating last year, but he's going to start more this year."
"We'll see where it leads, but it looks like they're interested to play, so we'll see what happens," Forsberg said.
