Diving by SHL players has been a topic of discussion recently. SVT's hockey expert Jonas Andersson believes the rulebook should be reviewed. According to the current rules, players penalized for diving are only fined.
Players earning under 50,000 kronor per month are fined 5,000 kronor, and players earning more can be fined up to 10,000 kronor. For repeat offenders, the fine increases. A suspension only occurs when a player is penalized for a third diving incident within a one-year period, and this applies only in the regular season.
