Corona fall in Luleå and Leksand - matches moved The



Corona virus continues to spread at SHL's ice hockey clubs.

Luleå received a confirmed, positive fall and moves forward its two upcoming matches.

The Luleå matches that are moved forward are tonight's away match against Rögle, and the home match against Rögle on Saturday.

After that, there is a break in the SHL due to the upcoming national team break for the Karjala Tournament in Helsinki.

"It is the overall medical assessment of Luleå's and Rögle's medical team that is the basis for the decision. Luleå has confirmed covid cases within the team and suspicion of further cases, thus postponing their two remaining matches before the break," says SHL's sports director Johan Hemlin to the league's website.

In Luleå, four players and one leader have become ill this week.

A corona fall has been found but not everyone has received answers to their covid-19 tests.

There are already corona falls in the SHL clubs Linköping, Djurgården and Leksand and therefore four matches in Thursday night's round have been moved.

Leksand, who would have met Brynäs away tonight, has also announced a further confirmed case of covid-19 in the player squad and Saturday's home match against Frölunda is postponed.

New playing dates are:


Leksand – Frölunda 16 November


Luleå – Rögle 8 December


Rögle – Luleå 5 January

Due to the development around the spread of covid-19, LUGI Handball's board has decided that this year's edition of Lundaspelen will not be implemented.

"We have an obligation to work for young people's health and well-being and it is acceptable to have to stop, but we need to take our responsibility to reduce the spread of infection. Human health always comes first", writes LUGI Handboll on its website.

Leksand - Frölunda is moved forward

Tonight's SHL match between Brynäs-Leksand has previously been decided to be moved to a later date, as it has been possible to establish a case of covid-19 in Leksand.

Now additional players have received a positive corona test in the team.

This means that Saturday's match between Leksand - Förlunda will also be postponed, writes SHL on its website.
