The suspected rape must have occurred last week.
The man was arrested in his absence but was detained on probable cause on Sunday on suspicion.
In a text message to SVT, the SHL player's club confirms that the man has been arrested on suspicion of rape.
"One of our players has been arrested, but right now we do not know more than you know about this.
The crimes that the player is accused of are of course incompatible with our values and what we stand for as an association and we of course distance ourselves from this.
The player will be removed from office during the investigation. "
Last week, another SHL player was arrested.
The man is suspected of assault and rape for probable cause.
