Luleå Hockey has retained key players Jesper Sellgren and Mathias Bromé after their contract exit clauses expired on April 30 without activation. Sports director Ulf Engman confirmed the news, bringing stability to the defending champions.
Following weeks of uncertainty—particularly around Mathias Bromé's potential overseas move, as previously reported—Luleå Hockey can breathe a sigh of relief. Contract clauses allowing both Jesper Sellgren and Bromé to depart expired on April 30, and neither player activated them, according to sports director Ulf Engman in comments to NSD. The duo, pivotal in last season's SHL championship win, will remain with the club. “They are two absolute key players, and it feels good that they are staying,” Engman said, noting the challenge of replacing them. This preserves the core of Luleå's title-winning squad ahead of the new season.
