The elite Swedish ice hockey club has suspended two youth players.
According to information provided to Sportbladet, they are suspected of vandalism and harassment within the team.
Two players have breached our core values and we have launched an investigation, says a club representative.
The two suspended young players were accused of participating in various incidents that did not follow the club’s values and norms.
The club has held talks and meetings and the players have been suspended from all activity while an internal investigation is underway.
All parties involved must be informed and kept informed of the current situation.
– We collect all the information we need about what happened and based on that we can then know what decisions we have to make in the future. We try to figure out what really happened and what that means, and then we have to work with that in mind. For us, it’s still quite new, and it hasn’t been that long since we received the information. As soon as we received it, we launched an internal investigation. Club representative says, We need to get all the facts on the table to know what decision to make.
“there is speculation”
According to information to Sportbladet, the players will be suspended for vandalism at the same time the investigation into harassment began.
– We want it to be ready as soon as possible for all parties involved, that’s our goal. The basis and facts will then determine whether they should be sent to the board or something similar, says the club representative.
Can you confirm that this is about vandalism and harassment?
I will not comment on what exactly happened. We’ll get to that later. There are many events. There is speculation about both. I don’t want to get into it here and now. Our investigation should show what happened. What is true based on the rumors out there and what the talk is about. We’ll see what is actually true.
“may come back”
Is it about situations that happened internally within the team?
– I don’t want to go into that either. We’ll keep it quiet until we have all the facts on the table. There will be a lot of rumors going around and stuff like that. Therefore, we want all the facts and today we do not have a hundred percent picture of what exactly happened in this regard. But we will continue to do so until that is done. We will return to such cases shortly.
