Nelson Mandella

25 Years of Laureus

Named Most Valuable Player in the NHL last season after a remarkable comeback from injury. Forsberg surged to 106 points while leading Colorado Avalanche to their ninth consecutive division title. Since May 2001, the 29-year-old had been out of action with a ruptured spleen and ankle and foot surgery, which had also kept him out of the Winter Olympics.
