Before game 339 vs Manhattan

The North Stars have a long history, but no players can claim to be on the same level as this legend. Tonight is his final game home regular season game with Toronto, and in his time with the team he has accrued 1206 regular season games, 487 goals, 521 assists, for a total of 1,008 points, all team records. To put into context the level of dominance he has the rest of the players in Toronto's history, his 521 assists is more than the player who places 3rd in team history in points. He was the first player in SHL history to get to 1,000 points in a career and fastest in terms of games played. He's appeared on the Top 100 SHL players list 22 times, including three top 5 finishes. (S22-96, S23-77, S24-57, S25-40, S26-11, S27-30, S28-55, S29-39, S30-55, S31-30, S32-5, S33-20, S34-20, S35-38, S36-55, S37-71, S38-40, S39-22, S40-2, S41-4, S42-49, S43-89)

His other accomplishments include:
4x 1st All-Star Team (S25, S31, S39, S40)
2x 3rd All-Star Team (S30, S37)
1x Ron Mexico Trophy (S31)
1x Anton Razov Trophy (S35)
1x Jay McDonald Trophy (S39)
1x Challenge Cup (S35)
2x Jeff Dar Nominee (S25, S31)

It's the North Stars organization's great honor and pleasure to honor, our captain, the great Kristian Eriksson @raymond3000 by forever honoring him with this banner in the rafters:

His accomplishments with this club are nothing short of legendary and he has done so with nothing but the highest level of professionalism and dedication to our team. It's our greatest honor to be able to help him have one more playoff run in Toronto, and hopefully its something to remember. While this won't be last time the SHL honors him (riot if he isn't a first ballot HOFer), we in Toronto hold him in the highest regard as a player and a person. Oh captain my captain!

Glad to have been around during his career and witness his successes.

Excited to see us both inducted in the same HoF class.
