When the SHL playoffs were canceled, it meant that the clubs in the league lost several million in revenue. For clubs that own the arenas, the bang became extra heavy. For the comic strip Färjestad, which owns its arena, that means almost two million per home game. And if that wasn't enough, the club has had to shut down the restaurant, set up cups and concerts. And it will be the club that can take the whole bang.

- We cannot go to anyone else and ask for rent free because we have difficulty paying the bills. Here comes the costs every day as before so we have no rescue plan, says Färjestad's CEO Stefan Larsson.

- On the whole, we are satisfied with owning the arena because it creates a freedom of action in a positive sense. But when the world is closing down now, our cost base is running as yesterday and we as an individual club have to deal with it.

Sweden's richest ice hockey club

But Färjestad is, after all, the club in Swedish hockey that has by far the highest equity with 117 million after last season, where HV71 with 55 million had the second largest equity. This means that, despite the difficult situation with its own arena, Färjestad still feels that the situation is under control.

- The ferry town basically feels pretty good. Since then we are really clued up by it, the situation we have here and now, just like the rest of the world. But the basic foundation on which we stand is good, and we feel good in that way.
