IF Troja-Ljungby has dismissed head coach Jens Gustafsson after a poor start to the season in Hockeyallsvenskan. The decision comes as the team sits last in the standings with 18 points after 23 games, nine points from safety. Gustafsson, who joined in 2022 and helped secure promotion, becomes the first coach fired in the league this season.
Rising concerns surround ice hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, due to missed construction deadlines for the Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena. Officials state there is no backup plan, placing pressure on the International Olympic Committee to ensure readiness by February 5. The NHL's involvement, absent since 2014, could be jeopardized if issues persist.
