The SHL has started, with 50 spectators in the stands as the Swedish government has decided that having more people in the crowd is too risky at the moment. The SHL clubs are hoping this will change over the season as many will face economically difficulties if the full season goes ahead without any people in the stands.
Unfortunately the rules will impact the European Prospect Report as well, as only daily Swedish media get access at this time, therefore interviews and comments might be more scarce than normal during this season.
Mattias Norlinder, Frölunda, SHL, Sweden
The focus for many, until the draft at least, will be Mattias Norlinder.
