Färjestad has gone out in the quarterfinals round for the third year in a row.
Now the future is uncertain to coach Tomas Mitell, who was previously rumored to be on his way to Switzerland.
– We have had a good dialogue, he tells Expressen.
2022 won Färjestad SM gold with Tomas Mitell44, at the helm. Then everything was peace and joy. But now the Karlstad Club has gone out in the quarterfinals round three years in a row. 2023 against Frölunda, 2024 against Rögle and this year against Skellefteå.
Tomas Mitell’s words after the exit
Färjestad goes out after 2-4 in the match series against Skellefteå.
– We are disappointed with the result. We make a good match, take it to Overtime and such. But the margins are not on our side. There are small margins. Our inefficiency together with Linus Söderström’s goalkeeping game makes the decision in a tight series, Mitell tells Expressen after the last loss.

Now Tomas Mitell’s contract with Färjestad goes out. Last April is his last day, what it looks like. He has previously been rumored to the Swiss league. It is talked about that the FBK legend Jörgen Jönsson52, should take over. It is already clear that he is leaving his coach role in Växjö Lakers after their exit in the SHL playoffs.
Mitell and Tomasek learn to leave
Most of it now indicates that Mitell will leave Färjestad. However, he does not want to talk about what will happen in the future.
– I don’t think it’s right to talk about the future right now. We have to take it these days and sum it up, so we have to look ahead, he says, and also says that the rumor that Jönsson should take over does not affect him:
– We have had a good dialogue internally. We are used to this industry. It has not disturbed us.

It also seems that Färjestad is going to lose their point king David Tomášek29, now after the season. Although he still has a contract with the club, Sportbladet now reveals that the Czech is orally agreed with an NHL club. According to the evening newspaper, the agreement is already clear, but he does not really sign with an NHL team until the season is completely over. The transition will become public after the hockey World Cup.
What do you have to say about Färjestad’s season? What do they need to do for the next season? Feel free to comment!
