WPG JETS #4 Lars-Erik Sjöberg | 8x8

Lars-Erik Sjöberg, proudly wearing #4, was a steady and respected leader on the blue line for the Winnipeg Jets. Known for his smart play, smooth skating, and calm presence, Sjöberg was one of the most dependable defencemen in team history.

Born in Falun, Sweden, Sjöberg joined the Jets in 1974 and quickly became a key part of the team’s defence. He was always in the right place at the right time, making smart plays and helping his teammates with strong passes and smart decisions. On the ice, he led by example. Off the ice, he became a well-loved part of the Winnipeg community, always showing humility and class.

Sjöberg's leadership helped shape the team’s identity. He stayed calm under pressure and worked hard every game, setting a high standard for everyone around him. After retiring as a player, he continued to give back to the game, sharing his experience and love for hockey as a coach and mentor.

This tribute honours Lars-Erik Sjöberg’s lasting impact on the Jets and the city of Winnipeg. The legacy of #4 lives on through the fans and the players he inspired.
