Börje - The Journey of a Legend

A frustrated Börje feels out of place in Kiruna. Big brother is a hockey star in Gävle, and after losing his job, Börje is desperate to show what he's up to and follow in his brother's footsteps.

Börje achieves considerable success in Gävle, finds a home of his own and meets the love of his life, Margitta. Life plays out, and when a Canadian hockey scout shows up, Börje is faced with a life-changing decision.

The Swedes arrive in Toronto. New home, new country, new team, what could possibly go wrong? It soon becomes apparent that there is a massive language barrier for Börje to overcome. The hot-headed owner of the Maple Leafs, Harold Ballard, is questioning if signing the Europeans was a bad investment.

Börje's rise to stardom in Toronto and the Maple Leafs is evident, and with a second baby on the way, he is juggling family life and career. Stig visits and questions Börje and the team’s efforts on the ice. Meanwhile, Margitta begins to question whether her life in Toronto will only be limited to being a hockey wife.

Börje is severely hurt during a game, Margitta fears for his life and can no longer stand by and watch her husband suffer. Ballard has hired a new coach, trading players left and right and pushing the players past their breaking points. Margitta's hard work culminates in a grand opening for her clothing brand—an event where her husband is nowhere to be found.

The year is 1986, and Börje celebrates his 35th birthday. Still on top of his game and despite being approached by other teams, he is staying true and determined to bring home the Stanley Cup with the Maple Leafs. Being 35 also brings back painful memories of his father from the past that he can no longer escape.
