Hampus Olsson of Troja-Ljungby has been suspended for two matches after a disciplinary ruling for dangerous actions in a HockeyAllsvenskan match against Östersund. The incident occurred when Olsson reportedly dragged down Östersund defenseman Alexander Anderberg violently and then pressed his head against the ice. Olsson stated to the disciplinary committee that there was no intent to injure, describing it as a mutual wrestling moment where he protected Anderberg during the fall, with any head contact being unintentional and without force.
However, the disciplinary committee found that Olsson acted violently, citing that he first grabbed Anderberg by the neck to pull him down and then pressed his head against the ice, leading to the suspension.
