For the first time, all main referees in SHL will be full-time employed. This reports Radiosporten.
This has been a wish from the referees, and that it is now being implemented for this ice hockey season is welcome.
There is so much traveling and so many things between the matches, so it is almost a requirement that everyone is full-time employed, says SHL referee Linus Öhlund to Radiosporten.
It is clearly a step in the right direction, he continues.
