Lulia’s player, Eric Gustafson, was shocked by the threat and criticism received by Isaac Bernström.
Now the captain is attacking the club’s fans.
– If you want to support Luleå Hockey in this way – we don’t need it, he told NSD.
Earlier this week, Sportbladet could reveal the best striker in Lulea, Isaac Bernströmagree to a three-year contract with HV71 Until next season.
On Tuesday, the club came out themselves and said someone had allegedly acted in a threatening manner outside the player’s home, where his pregnant girlfriend was, while he himself was in training.
– Of course I was worried that someone would take their liberty to do so. My girlfriend got scared and worried. It’s not something you think will happen, nor should it happen. It’s really over the top of what you should take, Brännström told Sportbladet yesterday.
“I’m so disappointed”
Lulea mountaineer, Eric Gustafson, is upset about what happened. In an interview with Norrländska Socialdemokraten, the captain makes a violent attack against the club’s supporters.
– Frankly, I do not understand any of these reactions. This is how hockey “works” and I think it’s a despicable behavior to keep it that way. We are human too and we have our lives besides hockey and there are a lot of things that play a role in what happens. He told the newspaper that those who do this should be ashamed.
Furthermore, Gustafsson says that early transitions like Brännström happen “all the time” in ice hockey.
Just because you signed up for a club, whatever it is, doesn’t mean you have to play for that club for the rest of your life. I’m so disappointed, it’s so pathetic for our fans. Should you support Luleå Hockey this way – we don’t need it.
