There has been a storm around Djurgården recently.
In addition to the results not being on the ice, there have been storms outside.
As Expressen first reported, the player Linus Videll, who returned to the SHL before the season, has reported his own club for abusive discrimination.
It is about how Videll was deprived of his captaincy on 19 October.
According to Expressen, the reason was that the then head coach Barry Smith had promised another new acquisition, Marcus Sörensen, that assignment, something that SVT Sport also has information about.
What happened must have caused tears in Djurgården's player squad.
Something that makes the petting even more remarkable is that according to SVT Sports' information before the season, the players were allowed to vote for a team captain and that the choice then fell on Videll.
11 SHL games later he was poked.
The club has launched an investigation with the help of two independent experts.
This is how CEO Thomas Kraft comments on what happened:
- With this specific event in focus, the investigation can be compiled.
And we will take part in it internally and make an assessment of whether we have had shortcomings and, if so, what kind of measures we see necessary to correct it and improve the environment, and the processes ahead.
If we have had such serious shortcomings that it requires other consequences, we must take part in it as well, he says.
SVT Sport has sought Linus Videll who has declined to comment.
