Peter Forsberg suffered a concussion after being cross-checked into the boards during a game in the Swedish League a couple of nights ago.
It was Forsberg's first game back after missing six weeks with a broken hand. His father coaches the team, MoDo, and says this:
"He's had his share of concussions, I think it is enough now (to cause him to retire)"
The player who made the illegal hit was ejected from the game and has been suspended for the next two.
