Alina Zinkevitch, a veteran player for SAIK, has retired from bandy. The retirement was confirmed after she opened the door for it directly following the final in March. According to reports from Arbetarbladet and Gefle Dagblad, she ended her career after winning an SM-gold, which is described as a fitting conclusion to a long bandy career.
Sofia Rådman from Sandvikens sportgrupp expressed hope that Zinkevitch feels pride and gratitude for her achievements.
