Hopefully, Södertälje will get promoted. If not, I would like to see Östersund or Visby!

Södertälje or Troja/Ljungby for me. Classic clubs and nice rinks. Skövde, Piteå and Östersund might be good places to grow a stable Allsvenskan team?

I am a KRIF supporter, but in the trainings match with Visby we suffered a big loss of the captain to a puck in the face. Lost for months. But beat Visby 3-1. KRIF has built what looks like a strong team to compete.

I want Hammarby in Allsvenskan.

It would be nice – if not all their football supporters were Leksand fans..

Troja upset today by Vimmerby in Hockeyettan Södra

Södertälje is basically a bulldozer in the Eastern division. Undefeated and a pretty good goal difference. But will they fail their task?

It's all coming down to a couple of weeks in the spring, these games doesn't really matter, but they look good as expected.

Östersund is dong well, undefeated so far despite heaps of injuries. A new quality coach outside of org. and a new arena matters too.

15 games 15 win appr 60 in goal diff.

No Skövde or Hammarby this year, the other teams mentioned in the thread got a shot.

Allettan Sodra

Many think this is perhaps the strongest competition put together. Vasterviks looks like a front runner like Sodertalje as well.

3 games in ÖIK has won 2 and lost one in OT. A looong way to grind still, but here is an article after the win today against Kiruna:

Any quality U20 players to look out for playing in Div 1 this year?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Södertälje - Piteå 4-4 right now. And piteå won the first game.

Edit: SSK won 5-4 in OT

 

[LiveeviL]

Kristianstad won over Östersund in Playoff 2.
A fair win. ÖIK suffered with lacking 7 players but that's the game.

Anyone else following qualifying for HE next year?

Assuming that the top seed in each pool stays in HockeyEttan who moves from HE Norra down south? Both Asploven and Sundsvall are being relegated both belong in Norra historically. Also, with Vasterviks or Troja being promoted, does that mean that three teams from the Sodra qualifying will be in HE next year?

In the north series Kovlands IF have decided to forfeit their place and play in division 2 next season due to financial disstress. So Brunflo, who won the qualifiers, will stay in HE and AIK-Härnösand will be relegated - meaning that the two vacancies will be filled by Sundsvall and Asplöven. The north series has thus been set.

The other qualifiers (east, south and west) are pooled together and a ranking is made out of those teams placing 2nd and 3rd (separately ranked, i.e no team placing 3rd can be ranked above a team placing 2nd in another qualifying series). Depending on the number of vacancies (6 relegation spots + Västervik + SSK), HE will be filled up by the winners of the qualifiers and then teams from the pooled rankings. As of now that would mean that all 2nd finishers will be promoted as well as the 2 best 3rd finishers.

Who plays in which series will be decided by the federation later this month.

Also, SSK!!
