Hans Tobias Forsberg (born April 5, 1988) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player. He played in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) with Modo Hockey and Leksands IF.

Playing career[]

Forsberg is the brother of Johan Forsberg. Forsberg joined IF Björklöven on January 30, 2009, from Modo Hockey of the Elitserien[1] and left the team after only four months to sign with VIK Västerås HK on 11 May 2009.[2] Prior to the 2011–12 season he signed with Leksands IF.

In the 2018–19 season, while playing with Leksands in the Allsvenskan, Forsberg suffered a career-ending injury in a game against Almtuna IS on December 26, 2018. Crashing into the boards head first, he fractured his neck in multiple places, suffering an injury to his spinal cord. As a result he was paralysed below the chest and has limited function of his arms. With Leksands later regaining promotion to the SHL, the club set up a fund to support Forsberg in his ongoing rehabilitation.[3]
