Before the start of the SHL season, the league introduced a test where weekend games were treated to a 20-minute break instead of 18 minutes. A total of four minutes of match expansion.
In Finland, the attempt was made last year. With the result satisfied, the clubs – who might notice an increase in sales. The fans, on the other hand, found the breaks too long.
The same criticism was heard to support in Sweden before the first fall of the year. The riddles of the Swedish High Court have been extended from 15 to 18 minutes for a number of years. When even the so-called powerbreaks, advertising cuts and the possibility of judgments by goal have already lengthened the matches, four extra minutes are not a welcome addition.
"Girige" are several of the critics who have been heard in criticism of SHL, who had blown several times during the season: the criticism of the judges against Domarchef Rönnmark and the discontent of SHL under several Associate supporters against a closed league.
Lexications like "SHL Hockey Murderers" resulted in the fact that CEO Jörgen Lindgren had to quit his job.
"Our responsibility is that Swedish hockey and our public must feel that SHL is characterized by trust, transparency and trust, and for some it needs to be rebuilt," said SHL President Anders Källström.
Now, SHL supports with the test longer breaks. In a press release, Johan Hemlin, vice president and sports director of SHL, said the clubs were in agreement to drive for 18 minutes in all matches.
"We think every game will have a break as long as it gives consistency in every game we have tested, but do not think the result supports a season of permanent change.
