Borje 2023 TV Show

Follows the story of Börje Salming, the first Swedish player who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, exploring his journey from his humble roots to becoming an NHL legend.

Premiering on Viaplay in Canada (Viaplay.com) and all Nordic territories on Sunday, November 19, Börje – The Journey of a Legend is the highly anticipated, new six-part drama series inspired by the remarkable true story of Swedish hockey legend and sports icon Börje Salming, affectionately known as “The King” in Canada.

The biopic stars Valter Skarsgård (The Playlist, A Class Apart), Hedda Stiernstedt (Kristallen Best Actress winner for The Restaurant), and Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210, Private Eyes) and is directed by Amir Chamdin (Canneseries winner Partisan).

The inspiring series follows Börje Salming’s journey from a small-town Swedish outcast struggling to find his place in society, to becoming a beloved and world-famous hockey player and trailblazer for European players in the NHL. A six-time all-star for the Toronto Maple Leafs during hockey’s aggressive 1970s era, Börje faced violent resistance on his journey - his famously scarred face comes to represent an unbreakable spirit that hockey players everywhere aspire to possess.

It’s also the story of unconditional love between Börje (Skarsgård) and Margitta (Stiernstedt), who follows him to Canada. As he’s thrown into instant hockey stardom, she tries to cope with the unwritten rules surrounding the team and norms of being married to the NHL player of the year.

The late Börje Salming, who tragically passed away from ALS in November 2022, is one of the greatest legends of all time in ice hockey. He spent 16 years with the Toronto Maple Leafs, was the first European player inducted into the prestigious Hockey Hall of Fame, broke numerous records, captured the hearts of millions of fans, and paved the way for countless Europeans to forge careers in the NHL, the world's best and toughest ice hockey league.
