Viking Award

The Viking Award is awarded annually to the best Swedish ice hockey player in North America. Arranged by travel agency Björk & Boström, the winner is decided by a vote among all Swedish-born players participating in the NHL or the NHL farm-team leagues. Mats Sundin has received the award four times, the most for any player. Five players have received the award three times (shown in order of third award date): Börje Salming, Peter Forsberg, Markus Näslund, Henrik Zetterberg and Erik Karlsson. The Viking Award has not been awarded since the 2018–19 NHL season.
