Committee Quotes:
“A defensive defenseman specialist who should get some more recognition. Was a Bojo specialist, winning the award twice and being nominated another two times, and 3 times for the Stevens (with 5 total award nominations tied for most amongst eligible HoFers). In a short 11-season career also put up over 1,400 hits and over 1,500 shots blocked which are similar numbers to other longer-tenured hall of fame defensemen.”

“Bjerg is a defensive defenseman with 7 whopping defense-oriented award nominations, two of which turned into Bojo Biscuit wins over a relatively short career. He has an absolutely absurd TA/GA ratio sitting at 2.36, and still managed to put up a pretty spectacular amount of points especially considering his role, as well as amassing defensive numbers resembling much longer tenured D men.”

“Bjerg, like Makela, was also a dominant defensive defenseman, picking up two Bojo Biscuits and multiple additional nominations for the Biscuit and Stevens. Had the type of career that shows a primarily defense-first guy can achieve the hardware deserving of a spot in the Hall of Fame.”

“Rikard Bjerg had a rather short career in the SHL, but they left an imprint with 3 consecutive Stevens nominations and a further 2 Biscuit wins, and another 2 Biscuit nominations. The four-season stretch from S63 to S66 proves to be one of the most productive peaks of any physical, stay-at-home defensemen in league history.”
