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.
Joona Luoto is set to depart HV71 after two seasons with the club, with reports pointing to a return to his native Finland. The Finnish forward, who recorded nine points in 30 regular-season games this year, will not remain as the team heads into the next SHL campaign. Tappara, where Luoto previously progressed from juniors to the senior side, is reportedly in pole position.
