Quote:
- Today, we strengthen our team with two of Sweden's best hockey players of all time. This is a general manager's dream, said GM Fredrik Andersson.

Modo has had a tough opening this season, but now there is some good news for the Övik-club

After Peter Forsberg's decision to play, Markus Naslund is heading the same way - and they both want to play for free and for the rest of the season.

- The guys really shows big Modo-hearts. Peter and Markus have informed me that they do not want any payment, but the club are looking at any possibility of a bonus if it would go really well for the team, GM Fredrik Andersson said in a statement.

And Peter Forsberg is ready to play in tonight's game againts MoDo

- Everyone knows that my heart beats for Modo. Now I just wanna get out on the ice, says "Foppa".

Markus Naslund, who finished his hockey career last spring, will start training with the team in the days and then be playable in a few weeks.

- I'm really looking forward to play with Modo again, and just the fact that Peter will too, is obviously something that feels really special, said Markus Naslund, who has been a member of the club's board since last summer.
