Game. Take care of the best in hockey.
masses.
Make sure they have a great experience in the arena.
Otherwise, we’ll get half-empty booths this season when wolf winter comes with soaring swells that looks like a cross-check at the back end.
The SHL season is underway and most of the teams have made their home debuts.
It’s an even better season than it’s been in a long time after a mass move of talented players from the KHL to Sweden. There are plenty of potential national team players on all 14 SHL teams.
The beginning of the series was filled with many matches, and some unexpected results. I’m thinking of the Brenna Point robbery in Angelholm and Timra’s victory in Scandinavia. Or Rögle’s first spell in Luleå tonight.
But I wonder how long the fans can last in 2022-2023?
interest rate shock.
Kwh-chock.
Butter shock.
fuel shock.
Shock.
We have a price increase in Sweden that we didn’t see in the 2000s and it will affect the fans and the clubs of course. For example, an SHL yard of the type located in Leksand consumes approximately 3.5 million kWh of electricity each year.
3.5 million kilowatt-hours!
Stunning amount and property managers who haven’t signed off on electricity probably have a little trouble sleeping when winter approaches especially if you’re in Electricity Zone 3 or even worse in Electricity Zone 4.
SHL will have a hard time getting fans to the arenas when everything becomes more expensive and fans have to choose between filling the car, filling the fridge or taking the family to a hockey game.
That’s why she’s so incredibly impressive with people like Jörgen Ejerblom, 56, from Skövde.
He got up in Skövde Thursday morning, got in the car and drove 35 miles north.
360 kroner for a ticket, 1600 kroner for accommodation and 70 miles by car. Add food and pilsner and two days off. It’ll be a few thousand in the end, but I didn’t miss the home premiere for Leksand 20 years ago and won’t do so in the future either, he writes for Sportbladet.
A real hero. My idol now.
He and everyone who puts in the same resources and time should get more recognition. Leksands shirt or free ticket package for any match in Tegera?
Because how long can Jurgen and all the other heroes last?
I understand that clubs cannot lower ticket prices. They’re risking a balance sheet with negative numbers, risking an elite license and you don’t want to lose it.
Instead, SHL clubs have to work on the experience in the arena, making sure it’s as packed or as close as possible.

Make sure it’s worth paying 360 SEK or more for a hockey game. Regardless of whether it was the day before the payment or during elk hunting.
Skip the ad jingles on the media cube and show off replays, emotions or interviews on giant TV. You should get more out of hockey when you’re in the ring than if you chose a TV sofa.
Build on interactions with younger fans and make sure you get up close and personal with your idols after every match or arrange fan meetings at family-friendly times and places.
Create an introduction as they did in Rögle as it engages the entire arena and creates a magical atmosphere.
5,510 people attended the premiere of Leksand at home on Thursday. He’s the worst character that has been featured since Tegera was built.
The day before the payout, Leksand’s score on Saturday, the opposing team who might not make the Leksands pilgrimage to the ice fold and Sweden’s economic situation were factors behind the somewhat surprising attendance figure.
I want to say right away that I understand the fans and pay tribute to those who came to Tejera, especially the stands in the north that tore up the match.
But it’s also another warning card for Leksand and other SHL clubs.
Take care of the fans, increase transparency and make sure that the distance between the meeting room and, for example, tifo groups, standing areas or active seating is as small as possible.
Without fans, passion in the arenas, hockey dies.
Nobody wants that.
What did the brave men who came to Tejeira on Thursday night testify, then?
A match between two teams belonging to the top of the SHL. Two defenses were as tight as Granite and two of the second goalkeepers, Mantas Armales and Linus Söderström, who were very hungry for the game and put up a fiery goalkeeping battle. The whole match was exquisitely furious, as it should have been, and Niklas Holmgren shrieked hoarsely at every second whistle.
The match was goal-free after two stints, but it wasn’t boring or action-free. And the audience was well excited, although it was not full.
With 87 seconds left, the decision came and Tejera exploded.
Carter Camper hit the crossbar and entry fee may have been saved for many by goal. compensatory.
The match’s giant was Mantas Armales, who had intended to be Lieksand’s second-choice goalkeeper. But if he plays this well, he will become the first goalkeeper and give Kasimir Kaskisuo a spade match.
