Last week, there was a lot of attention around a sequence in Frölunda's match against HV71, when Frölunda's team captain Joel Lundqvist pushed one of the referees.
He was not punished during the match, but the next day he was reported to the Swedish Ice Hockey Association's disciplinary committee, which chose to suspend him for five matches.
Date not yet clear
Now he has chosen to appeal the suspension to the National Sports Board, something that the site Raka Puckar was the first to report.
- There was an appeal in the afternoon, confirms the Swedish Sports Board's registrar Joakim Dahl for SVT Sport.
The National Sports Board is now collecting information from the parties involved, and has not yet set a date for when they will handle the Lundqvist case.
That SHL suspensions are appealed is extremely rare.
The clubs in the SHL have an agreement not to do so, but there is no obstacle for the players themselves to appeal judgments.
