The Men´s play-offs in the Swedish top league, SSL, have already begun. In the Women´s SSL the first play-off matches will be played this week.
During the last eight seasons in the Men’s SSL, Storvreta and Falun have been the only teams to raise the cup. The two teams have once again played an impressive regular season as Storvreta came first with 77 points and +101 goal difference. Falun were three points behind. Pixbo, who came third, were already 14 points behind Falun.
As the top eight teams continue their season with the play-offs the bottom two will face play-outs. Both AIK IBF and Team Thorengruppen SK were the only teams who had less than 30 points. Teams 9-12 will go to summer holidays.
