“Linköping Hockey Club as an employer has a personnel responsibility towards our employees to curb this type of expression.
Therefore, a decision was made on Sunday to establish a police report for illegal threats ", the club writes on its website.
Linköping lost 1-5 away against Malmö last Saturday and parks in twelfth place in the SHL table.
Some of the team's supporters have chosen to vent their anger on employees of the club and now the LHC has had enough.
“On most occasions, the limit for what is criticism has been crossed and it has resulted in net hatred directed at individuals.
This development reached its peak on Saturday when a direct threat was directed at one of Linköping Hockey Club's employees ", the club writes on its website.
The club has invited members and shareholders to a meeting at 5 pm to answer questions about the sporting results.
