Djurgården were clear favorites when they went into the negative qualifier against Timrå, but after four straight losses, there will be games in the Hockeyallsvenskan next season.
- Saturday the 2nd of April 2022 will forever be a terribly heavy evening and one of the absolute worst moments in my life, says Kaarel Lehiste to Djurgården's website.
Now he chooses to leave his post.
- As a result of the demotion, I have announced to the Nomination Committee, the Board and the CEO that I will resign from my position as chairman at the next annual meeting.
As the ultimate person in charge of this fantastic association, I see this as a clear failure, something I regret with all my heart, says Lehiste and continues:
- I come to the annual meeting and my resignation to give everything to support in the preparations to be made.
The power in Djurgårdens IF is very strong, together the association will rise.
