HV71 defeated Modo 4-0 in the league final last week.

But the aftermath was about the tackle that Modos Filip Sveningsson, 22, handed out against the home team's Emil Andrae.

The tackle was reported and Sveningsson was sentenced for "illegal check to the head".

In the disciplinary decision, the union writes that the tackle is handed to the head and is careless and uncontrollable.

And that the tackle entails a great risk of injury.

Filip Sveningsson is suspended in the next six matches in the Hockeyallsvenskan.

He is also fined SEK 14,188.
