Already this spring, the clubs in the Hockeyallsvenskan decided to postpone the start of the series. This is due to the corona pandemic.
Then it was said that the league would start on October 1 at the earliest, and on Thursday it was decided that Friday October 2 will be the starting shot for this year's season of the Hockeyallsvenskan, three weeks later than the original program.
The series association Hockeyallsvenskan, HA, writes on its website that they hope for a quick decision which means that they can play the matches in front of an audience.
"It is of utmost importance for the survival of the clubs and the league that the matches can be played in front of an audience or that significant financial support is obtained. Otherwise, most Swedish cities risk losing their pride in the form of their hockey team. ”, They write.
