”To be able to act according to their best ability on the ice, this was necessary. We are of course reviewing our goalkeeper situation and intend to have two fully viable options when the season starts”, says sports manager Johan Alcén to the club's website.

Brynäs, who lost the SM final series against Luleå, are now without a contracted goalkeeper since Ludvig Persson was recruited by Växjö in May.

Italian national team goalkeeper Damian Clara, who played for Färjestad last season, has been rumored to be set for a return to Brynäs and was seen training in Gävle the other day, according to Hockeynews.

Clara was loaned to Brynäs for the 2023–2024 season when the team took the step up to SHL again.
