Leksand Restructures Team Amid Economic Challenges

Leksand clears out the squad after the winter's message about the tough economic situation. Coach Charles "Challe" Berglund is leaving, as well as goalkeeper Mantas Armalis, defenseman Eddie Larsson and star forwards Lucas Elvenes and Justin Kloos, the club writes on its website.

"Leksand wants to extend a big thank you for your efforts in the blue and white jersey", the club writes.

Kloos became the top scorer and point collector in Leksand with 18 goals and 33 points this season and Elvenes finished second in the internal point league with 30 points, 3 goals and 27 assists.

Leksand announced at the end of November that the economic crisis was worse than initially feared. The economic result last season showed a deficit of 13.3 million kronor, but after a revision it turned out that the result was approximately five million kronor worse.

The budget for this season also proved to be incorrect and instead of a budgeted zero result, the figures indicate another significant loss.

Leksand missed the playoffs last season and has announced cuts in the player budget for next season.
