The open letter, which Hockeyallsvenskan published on its website, further criticizes the union, whose license name today announced that Karlskrona is not granted an elite license and thus forcibly degraded from Hockeyallsvenskan.

The decision states that Karlskrona "has not been able to pay its debts for some time because they are due and according to the License Board's assessment this inability is not only temporary."

“Today we are greeted by the message from the Swedish Ice Hockey Association that Karlskrona HK is not granted a license for games in HockeyAllsvenskan 2020/2021 and that the club is relegated to the series system. This is despite the fact that Karlskrona HK for the third year in a row has a positive financial statement. ”, It says in the open letter, followed by:

"Had the club not been forced by the Swedish Ice Hockey Association to rebuild its arena for the 2016/2017 season, in order to pass the current licensing rules for games in SHL, the club would have been able to present equity of approximately SEK 5 million today."

KHK has the right to appeal. It must have been submitted to SIF's Appeals Board by June 26, 2020.
