The match in the hockey Allsvenskan between Södertälje and Djurgården in Scaniarinken was canceled and will not be resumed. This after pyrotechnics were used from both heel sections and smoke settled in the hall.
The arena was evacuated in the second period and the hockey allsvenskan’s sporting director Erik Ryman then gave the announcement on TV4: the match will resume in front of empty stands.
– Very, very regrettable and sad for Swedish hockey, he says in TV4’s broadcast.
But after the announcement was made, several groups remained inside the arena and fights broke out with security personnel. Trash cans and tables were thrown out into the stands.
