The 2007/2008 season in the Swedish Elitserien will be played with a new icing rule.
The board of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association has decided that Elitserien and the championship playoff during the 2007/2008 season will be played with a new icing rule.
The new rule says that the team that play a puck to icing isn't allowed to change any players during the break after the icing call. The rule should give faster line changes, give the opponents an advantage and a more constructive game.
The rule will only apply to Elitserien and it's playoff and no other leagues or tournaments.
