In the middle of the match, Svenska Spel stopped the possibility of betting live on the match, which ended 4-8. The skewed odds led to suspicions of gambling fraud, which will now be investigated by the gambling company.
The Swedish Ice Hockey Association is also taking the issue seriously and has the safety department launch an investigation.
– Based on the signals we receive, we have started an investigation through our security function. We are there right now, we will investigate further. We need to get more information, that’s why we are starting, says competition director Olof Östblom to TV4.
Hockeyallsvenskan interim CEO Gabriel Monidelle tells the league’s website that they are assisting the association in the investigation.
“I feel very confident with the routines and protocols that we have in Swedish hockey and Swedish ice hockey,” he says.
“Completely unacceptable”
Anders Blomberg, CEO of Björklöven, takes the suspicions seriously and welcomes a full investigation.
“I hope that this is solved correctly and that we deliver all the stones that can be tipped. Only the suspicion is serious enough, but if it turns out to be true, of course it is completely unacceptable and something that should never happen in our association. Here the players they are trained in what is applied in Björklöven and this is very far from the culture we defend, ”he says on the team’s website.
Gambling expert Robert Avellán is sure there has been gambling fraud.
– The movements are skewed, says Allehanda.
– I am 99 percent sure that the match is rigged.
Is the doorman leaving?
Goalkeeper Connor Ingram, who was replaced after the second period when he conceded five goals, can leave Umeå. He is on loan from the NHL Nashville team.
– Soon we will come out with information on Connor Ingram, says sports director Per Kenttä to Västerbottens-Kuriren.
