Per-Erik Eklund Biography and Trivia

Cult/Star player for AIK

Cult/Star player for Leksands IF

Cult/Star player for Philadelphia Flyers

Cult/Star player for Sweden

En av svensk hockeys största spelgenier. Var näst intill omöjlig att få stopp på vissa matcher då han hela tiden tycktes ligga före sina motståndare i tanken.
Flyttade redan som mycket ung från Grimsta IP och IF Brommapojkarna (där han även spelade division 2-fotboll som vänsterback) tillsammans med Tommy "Abbe" Albelin till Verner Perssons hockeyskola ute i Stocksund. Var nära en övergång till Hammarby där Leif Boork visat stort intresse. Men "Boorkens" steg över till Djurgården gjorde att övergången rann ut i sanden.
Spelade sedan fyra säsonger med AIK innan han flyttade till USA och spel i NHL för Philadelphia Flyers. En klubb som han blev trogen under åtta säsonger innan han via ett kort stopp i Dallas Stars flyttade hem till Sverige och spel för Leksands IF.
Världsmästare 1991 i Åbo
Bor i Leksand.
