The background to the decision is, among other things, that several players without contracts for the coming season have chosen to leave IFK, at the same time that several other players have announced that they want to leave Motala.
According to the club, the concern in the squad is mainly due to the various announcements about a new ice rink being built in the municipality – something that has created uncertainty about the possibilities of continued play in the elite series.
“IFK’s board has therefore, after further consultation with players and coaches, decided to refrain from playing in the elite series and instead make a fresh start in division 1. We really regret this, as it affects many loyal players and leaders”, writes the bandy club in the press release .
