In Västerås, Sweden, during a hockey qualifier match between Troja/Ljungby and VIK, a delay in releasing a player from the penalty box reportedly led to a goal. Henrik Malmström of VIK was held in the penalty box for seven seconds longer than his two-minute penalty, according to reports. After he was released, Troja/Ljungby scored a goal to tie the game at the end of the first period.
Malmström expressed frustration in a TV4 broadcast, stating he had difficulty formulating his thoughts and that the situation should not happen in important matches. The referees reviewed the incident via video but upheld the goal. The match was described as chaotic, with VIK receiving a penalty and a match penalty earlier in the period.
I had difficulty formulating my thoughts and that the situation should not happen in important matches.
