In recent days, it has snowed heavily in the Örnsköldsvik area, which now also affects SDHL's game schedule.
Today it was announced that the match between Modo and SDE, which would have been played tonight, has been postponed indefinitely.
"Due to the weather conditions and the fact that both the roof of the ice rinks runs a great risk of collapsing, as well as the risk of going up to Norrland, SDHL, in consultation with the clubs concerned, made the decision," writes Modo on its website.
"Checked around for alternatives"
In addition to the risk of a landslide, the government's decision before Christmas, to close state, municipal and regional ice rinks, has also been put forward.
- We have looked around for alternatives, for example in Husum, but they have also closed the hall.
At the same time - should you even go out and drive on this road?
When we are recommended to pitch a tent in the living room.
There are quite a few aspects to take into account, says Modo's sports director and coach Björn Edlund, who has personal experience of collapsed ice rink roofs.
- When I played in Gothenburg ten years ago, it snowed every single day for 30 days or something like that, and roofs collapsed a little here and there.
Among other places in Kållered where I was - where the roof of the ice rink collapsed, as luck would have it after it was a youth training.
It is a risk that you do not want to expose anyone to, says Björn Edlund to the local newspapers in Ångermanland.
