Tomorrow, Mora will face BIK Karlskoga in the Hockeyallsvenskan.
But the home team has suffered a real manfall.
During the past week, more than half of the squad has fallen ill and it has been established that it is the RS virus.
Considering that more than half of the squad has been infected, Mora has contacted the Swedish Ice Hockey Association, Hockeyallsvenskan and Karlskoga in the hope of moving tomorrow's match - but was rejected.
- Trying to get a loan from players in a situation like this is basically completely impossible.
Now we get to try to get a team together by moving up juniors plus we get to bring players who have been ill but who would have needed several days to recover.
They will not be 100% ready for the match.
We are in a situation where we are forced to put a team on the ice as the alternative we have only been WO, says Peter Hermodsson, club director and sports director in Mora.
Refers to current competition regulations
Despite the fact that Mora does not consider itself to have enough healthy players in order to be able to carry out the match in a sportingly defensible way, they have thus been refused and forced to play the match.
- The league refers to the prevailing competition regulations and we can not do anything about them at the moment, says Hermodsson.
