Council that announced, among other things, that people residing in counties are urged “to refrain from participating, for example, in meetings, concerts, performances, sports training, games and competitions. However, this does not apply to the sports training for children and young people born in 2005 or after “. At the same time, it was announced that the audience ceiling of 50 people remains in those regions.
Something that now affects ice hockey, but not at all levels.
At the highest levels, the series can continue, for the time being.
– What we see as elite level, our federative series, that is, SHL, SDHL, Hockeyallsvenskan, Hockeyettan and J20 Nationell continue to do business but of course according to the protocols and guidelines that exist from the Public Health Agency, says Olof Östblom .

District and regional youth and youth series, such as the J18 National and U16 series, where teams affected by adjusted councils are affected.
Now there will be a hiatus in business both in terms of matches and training.
– As we see it right now, and the dialogues that we have had with the authorities, it is the law in these regions where the restrictions come from that is affected, so district or regional series will not be played. No training is provided, except for children born after 2005.

In the J18 Nationel series, for example, which are in four divisions from north to south, the game schedule in some of the series is now affected.
This is when there are laws that are covered by the strictest general guidelines.
Only in the southern series are there teams from Västra Götaland, Östergötland and also Skåne, who earlier this week came out with the same stricter advice as those that arrived on Thursday in three other regions.
– The J18 regional series are on hiatus in the regions affected by the law. However, in regions that are not affected, such as our North region, where you can continue to play in J18. And if we go south Smålandslag can keep playing, right now they are not affected, then of course they should relate to the general guidelines and our business protocols and all that, but they are not affected for the moment, Östblom says and continues:
– There we also have J18 National after Christmas, but it hasn’t started yet, so we haven’t decided.
