    For the first time ever, since the start of icehockey leagues in Sweden in the 1920s, Stockholm (the COUNTY, 2.4 million, ~23% of Sweden total), will not have representation in the top flight next season.

    Djurgårdens IF, the last stand, was relegated yesterday after losing the 7 games playout series against Timrå IK by 0-4.

    Are there any equivalents in the world where one of the two major team sports in a country has no representation from the capital area?

    Just saw that it will remain that way for at least another year as Modo won Game 7 of
    the Superettan play-off final against Djurgården.

    What's worse, Brynäs got relegated and now there's an even bigger empty spot around
    the centre of the SHL map.

    What's worse, Bryn�s got relegated and now there's an even bigger empty spot around

    Bryn�s swept Djurg�rden in the Allsvenskan playoff finals and are
    immediately back up, but the Greater Stockholm area won't have a team in
    the SHL for the third consecutive season.

    True, and fun fact: Those two teams, Djurg�rden and Bryn�s, are the two
    teams with the most Swedish Championships.

    1. Djurg�rdens IF 16 (1926, 1950, 1954, 1955, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962,
    1963, 1983, 1989, 1990, 1991, 2000, 2001)

    2. Bryn�s IF 13 (1964, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1976, 1977, 1980, 1993, 1999, 2012)

    3. F�rjestads BK 10 (1981, 1986, 1988, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2009, 2011,
    2022)
