Kent "Nubben" Norberg is synonymous with Timrå.

He has played in the club and has been sports director for a total of 17 seasons, but now it's over.

We on the board have made this decision together with Kent and Jonas in agreement.

Kent's desire to be released from his contract to move on to new challenges and the association's goal of renewing the sporting organization coincided.

We have great faith in the organization's ability to handle the situation that has arisen in a short perspective ", says chairman Lars Backlund to the club's website.

Club director Jonas Torines will take over as sports director from 1 May until a new sports director is appointed.

According to Aftonbladet, Kent Norberg will be the new sports manager in HV71, regardless of whether the team plays in the hockey allsvenskan or SHL next season.

The parties must agree on a longer contract.

Timrå defeated Djurgården 3-1 yesterday and thus won the SHL's relegation qualifier with 4-0 in matches.
