Leksands IF was relegated from the SHL after a 2-1 overtime defeat to HV71 in the decisive fourth game of the relegation qualification series at Tegera Arena, completing a 4-0 sweep—the first such drop since 2018/19 and with no historical precedent for overturning a 0-3 deficit in Swedish hockey qualifiers. Attendance hit a low of 6,668 amid fan struggles. Players and staff voiced deep disappointment but vowed a quick return via HockeyAllsvenskan.
