The women's crowns departed from the A-VM this spring. Next year they will play against the Netherlands in the B-World Cup. The women's crowns, despite weak resources, should have succeeded better. They should not be worse than Japan, to name a nation that has passed Sweden.

The captain of the Swedish national team won the shooting league in SDHL. One of the world's best leagues. The captain of Japan, was a third-line player in the Luleå that won the SM gold. Just as a straightforward, simple and easily accessible comparison. Yet the reality is grim. And now it's getting worse.

Not the women's first letter

The recent headlines around the Women's Crowns have been riddled with debated leadership, and as a result of this dropped player. Conflicts have succeeded. This is not the first time that we have seen a letter written to the covenant, although this is written in the public eye. The first was an appeal to the then League Captain Leif Boork. Then a leading crowd of players set an ultimatum: We - or Boork.

That call ended with one of the country's then best players being dismissed from the national team and shortly thereafter ending with the ice hockey. At that time, the initiative for change was not enough. Today it is different. Today, there seems to be more serious and more determination and power behind the initiative. Sico, the Swedish ice hockey central organization, is now behind the initiative. A long letter has been written with # FörFramtiden. Now they hit the club and say goodbye.

To get back to the A-World Cup requires more resources ... At least in this locked position, otherwise the players will no longer line up. So far, the Women's Crowns have been handled with the left hand.

The union has not invested wholeheartedly. It can and should be better, but the occasion of the protest is badly chosen. Deliver first - then protest.
