Djurgården Banned From Bringing Flags and Banners to Away Games After Pyrotechnics Incident

When Djurgården faced Brynäs in Gävle in the SHL, pyrotechnics were set off in the away section. Now the Stockholm club has been punished for the rest of the year: its supporters are not allowed to bring flags or banners to away games.

The Swedish Ice Hockey Association's competition committee has banned Djurgården supporters from bringing large overhead flags, banners and flags on poles into away sections.

The ban applies from November 12 to December 30 and covers a total of seven away matches. The last match during the period will be against Brynäs.

Djurgården will appeal the decision, the club writes on its website.

On October 15, away supporters lit pyrotechnics in their section of the stands in Gävle. The incident delayed the start of the match.
