Skellefteå kraft arena is closed with immediate effect, reports The north.
On Thursday, Skellefteå AIK plays against Rögle.
– The hope is that it will be resolved then, says interim club director Niclas Lundkvist to Norran.
It has snowed heavily in Skellefteå, which caused Skellefteå municipality to make the decision about the arena on Monday.
– We have been measuring the roof load in the arena for a long time. We have made that assessment here and now, during the day. We see it as a pure security measure, says Fredrik Nilsson, property manager at Skellefteå municipality, to The north.
Skellefteå municipality has started shoveling the roof and hopes to be able to reopen before Skellefteå AIK’s SHL match against Rögle on Thursday.
– We are shooting full blast. We are standing here right now with our snow removal contractor. Our assessment is that we should be done with this on Thursday, but it is not certain, says Fredrik Nilsson.
The safety measure and the risk of collapse are said to be due to defects in the roof construction.
– I understand that they take the safe before the unsafe. We have respect for that, says Skellefteå AIK’s acting club director Niclas Lundkvist to Norran.
