SKELLEFTEÅ. The match between Skellefteå and Luleå was cancelled.
200 away supporters have been forced to leave their section due to lighting flares.
The game could resume again after Luleå captain Erik Gustafsson gave a speech to his own fans.
Over 500 Luleå supporters made it to the rival and summit meeting against Skellefteå.
This deafening crowd print with two big heels on each side..
Many of the away fans missed large parts of the first period after lighting flares.
Police and security guards had to evacuate the section to search them again before they were allowed back in.
“Everybody wants a damn print”
The main referees Mikael Holm and Christoffer Holm also interrupted the match for several minutes.
After long talks with both teams, Erik Gustafsson got the microphone.
– We all want a hell of a pressure in here and we love that, but I was asked by the SHL to say that we must follow the rules of order and listen to the security guards so that we can continue playing. Thank you now, says Erik Gustafsson.
Gradually, the Luleå supporters were allowed back into the arena and the empty stands were filled again.
