With the corona eruption, SIF decided that all leagues in Swedish hockey would be terminated. No winners were appointed and no teams moved up and down.
Modo then filed an appeal, as the club considered that the two teams that finished last in SHL, Leksand and Oskarshamn, had not played any place for SHL next year.
"According to SIFS's serial regulations under the heading" SHL "it appears that teams 11-12 are qualified for games in SHL 2020-21- It is further stated that teams 13-14 are not qualified for games in SHL 2020-21", writes Modo in the appeal.
The National Sports Commission rejected the appeal and points out that the Swedish Ice Hockey Association has the right to change the competition rules. Väsby Hockey, which was clear to qualify for the Hockey Allsvenskan, is also denied his appeal.
