It was last Friday that the accident occurred during a training session.

Jonas Ahnelöv fell together with a teammate and when he got up from the fall he felt how it burned on his neck.

A skate from the teammate had hit and cut him.

- I thought about whether I would get to meet my children again, yes such thoughts were what was spinning in my head.

It was really damn nasty and it's something I do not wish any other person to have to be a part of, says Ahnelöv to SiljanNews.

"Millimeters from the carotid artery"

According to the staff at the hospital, Ahnelöv had been lucky, in bad luck.

- They said at the hospital that it was only a few millimeters from the carotid artery.

Then it could have ended anyway.

Now, however, I had a great turn in bad luck, he says.

On Thursday, Leksands IF continues its pre-season, this with a cup game in Södertälje where you will meet Malmö and Brynäs in the group game.

Ahnelöv tells SiljanNews that he is not too eager to return to the rink.

- I'm not very keen on running combat exercises right now, so to speak.

At the same time, it's probably just trying to pick up the horse again, you do not know how long these thoughts and feelings stay in. Hopefully they disappear quite quickly.
