Over SEK 700,000 was raised on Saturday to the collection foundation for the former Leksand player, Tobias Forsberg. Legends from rivals Leksan and Mora met in a charity match on the initiative of former Moraduon, Jonas Westerling and Mikael Simons.


After a nasty knock in a match with Almtuna, Tobias Forsberg was paralyzed from the chest down. Then a fundraising foundation was started in Tobia's name and on Saturday SEK 700,000 was withdrawn into the foundation.

Moraduon gathered legends from the two major rival teams and played a charity match, where players such as Filip Forsberg, Mattias Ekholm, and others were on the pitch. 2100 people made their way to the arena and the events were a bigger success than the initiators thought.

- Yes, my God. It got really, really huge, much bigger than we thought. The spirit has been to raise money from the beginning, but we didn't think it would be that big, Simons tells HockeyNews.se.
