The former Tre Kronor player will not be around when the team kicks off the season on August 1.
- For us, Ted's health is the most important thing.
Rögle and our medical staff will give him all the support we can during this time, says Rögle's sporting director Chris Abbott to the club's website.
Last fall, Ted Brithén talked about how badly he was affected by covid-19, which he got in two rounds, the second two weeks before the playoffs.
- I had shortness of breath and a panic attack that caused the ambulance to come, my whole life passed by right then and there.
It took such a toll on me that I actually felt bad every single time I was alone during the playoffs, the center told Helsingborgs-Dagblad.
Ted Brithén, 31, played 25 games in the regular season and seven playoff games in the SHL last year and was noted for 14 points (5+9).
