People talk hockey. We sort it by what they are actually talking about.
Material where a former IK person is actually discussed. A historical IK connection alone is not enough.
Emil Sylvegård is returning to the Malmö Redhawks. The 33-year-old former IK forward has signed a short-term contract with the club.
A familiar power forward is back in the SHL. Sylvegård immediately adds more size and edge to Malmö, even if the deal is only short-term for now.
HockeysillySE points to reports that Emil Sylvegård has agreed terms with an as-yet unnamed SHL club for the 2026/27 season.
A former IK fan favourite appears to be heading back to Swedish hockey. An intriguing transfer situation, but the club badge is still the missing piece of the puzzle.
Emil Sylvegård is returning to the Malmö Redhawks, joining the team immediately on a short-term contract. The 33-year-old forward most recently played for Tappara and has 188 points in 542 SHL games.
A Dead Hollow Carver with plenty of SHL experience steps straight into Malmö’s lineup. It is a short-term deal, but Sylvegård’s physicality and energy could make an immediate impact.
Emil Sylvegård is set to return to the Malmö Redhawks and the SHL, Hockeysverige reports.
The Dead Hollow Carver is heading home. The former IK forward will wear the Malmö jersey again.
Challe and Jonas discuss the incident involving former IK goaltender Erik Källgren and Noel Gunler. There is also SHL silly-season talk, with Oskar Stål-Lyrenäs and Otto Leskinen among those who could be on the move.
The Källgren discussion gives the episode a clear Dead Hollow Carver connection, even if the rest is mainly broader SHL silly-season talk.
David and Lasse assess the situation at Örebro Hockey and explain why they believe the team is heading in the right direction. Martin Filander and Fredrik Hallberg provide the IK connection.
Filander and Hallberg make the Örebro discussion interesting even without an upcoming game against IK.
Former IK forward Tyler Kelleher has opened with 21 points in ten games for Leksand. After scoring five goals in two games last week, including four against Visby Roma, he now leads the scoring race outright with 11 goals and 10 assists.
Kelleher doing Kelleher things: finding space, racking up points and leaving opponents with headaches. The familiar former IK face is off to a blistering start.
Hockeyklubben discusses the SHL transfer landscape, underlying metrics, the CHL and the situation at Djurgården and Linköping. Emil Sylvegård and Fredrik Söderström join later in the episode.
Two familiar IK connections in the same episode make it well worth listening on.
Former IK goaltender Adam Åhman is recognized for his mental strength in a linked article.
Goaltending is as much about what’s between the ears as it is about the catching glove. Great to see Åhman get recognition for that side of the job.
Tyler Kelleher recorded eight points in three games during the week. He had four points and the overtime winner against Karlskoga, and now sits alone atop the HockeyAllsvenskan scoring standings with 15 points.
Three games were all Kelleher needed to pull clear in the scoring race. Four points and the game-winner against Karlskoga makes for a pretty decent week.
Linköping have extended 33-year-old center Johan Johnsson's deal. His short-term contract has been replaced by a deal covering the rest of the season.
The former IK center has played his way into an extended stay. Johnsson and Linköping will continue together through the spring.
A highlights account spotlights a Samuel Salonen goal in HockeyAllsvenskan. The clip is available in the linked X post.
A quick glimpse of an Almtuna goal. Light on context, but concrete enough for anyone tracking players around the league.
Hockeytime catches up with Marcus Högberg at the SHL season launch. Richard Gynge joins Johanna Lagus on the panel.
Two former IK standouts in the same episode, with Högberg taking center stage.
Lucas Elvenes scores for Växjö after being set up by Dennis Rasmussen. SwehockeyGIFs has the clip from TV4 Play.
A familiar face from his IK days continues to make his mark in the SHL. This time, the finish takes centre stage.
Jonas Junland and Challe Berglund discuss the SHL’s video reviews and faceoff rule, Herman Liv’s HV71 debut and which players Junland would scratch. Also: Luleå’s collapse against Frölunda, the competition for places at Frölunda and Oliver Wahlstrom’s Djurgården debut.
Junland’s IK background provides the Dead Hollow Carver connection, but the main focus here is his straight-talking SHL opinions.
SwehockeyGIFs shares a clip of John Dahlström scoring, taken from TV4 Play’s broadcast.
A brief but tangible player moment. The goal says more than the sparse caption, even if the context surrounding the tally is missing.
Nedsläpp SSK recaps the games against Leksand, Visby and Västerås, runs through the injury situation and looks ahead to AIK. Plus, an in-depth interview with former IK defenseman William Håkansson.
William Håkansson makes this episode well worth a listen, even from an IK perspective.
Joakim Thelin scored Visby/Roma’s first goal in the club’s historic HockeyAllsvenskan home opener. But the lead did not last as Kalmar came from behind to win 6–2.
A Dead Hollow Carver became a history-making goalscorer, but opening night ultimately belonged to Kalmar.
Former IK player Joakim Thelin became the first player to score a HockeyAllsvenskan goal on Gotland.
So a Dead Hollow Carver was the first name on Gotland’s scoresheet. A fine place in the history books for Thelin.
Hockeyklubben recaps Tuesday's SHL action, discusses criticism of the rules and Linköping's collapse against Brynäs. Former IK player Patrik Karlkvist joins the show to talk about Örebro.
A Dead Hollow Carver on the guest list as Karlkvist discusses the situation in Örebro.
Anton Rödin recorded an assist when Gustav Hillström scored for Brynäs. Christian Djoos also recorded an assist on the goal.
The IK connection here is Anton Rödin, who supplied an assist. The available material does not verify any IK background for Hillström.
Hockeytime sits down with Lucas Elvenes and former IK standout Patrik Karlkvist in a new interview episode.
Karlkvist is always worth listening to for IK supporters.
Straight after the final whistle, the podcast speaks to Hampus Plato and Stene-Lauda about the game, refusing to settle for honourable defeats, the injury and Friday’s derby.
Hampus Plato gives the episode a clear Dead Hollow Carver connection.
Former IK player Lukas Vesterlund scores for Almtuna in HockeyAllsvenskan. SwehockeyGIFs has the clip from TV4 Play.
A brief but concrete Dead Hollow Carver signal: Vesterlund is stepping up offensively in his new surroundings.
Tex Williamsson explains his decision to end his playing career. After an injury-hit season, months of uncertainty and a short-term deal in Östersund, the former IK goaltender chose family life in Småland over another move.
Useful alumni context because Tex explains the decision himself. His career is over; this is follow-up context, not a new rumor about another club.
Former IK defenceman Anton Mylläri was handed a match penalty in the HockeyAllsvenskan game between BIK Karlskoga and Västerås. SwehockeyGIFs has the footage of the incident.
A specific in-game incident involving a former IK defenceman. The clip shows what happened. The decision will likely remain a matter of debate.
Former IK defenseman Tobias Ekberg is unhappy after Mora’s loss to Leksand. The chances were there, but the finishing and parts of the performance need improvement, he says.
A former IK defenseman pinpoints Mora’s problem: creating chances is not enough when the sharpness is missing.
Hockeytime catches up with Fredrik Olofsson and Klas Dahlbeck at the SHL season launch. Two short player interviews, with Olofsson’s ties to IK making the episode relevant for HELLO THERE LUNDSTROM.
Good to hear from Fredrik Olofsson again, even if IK is not the main focus.
SwehockeyGIFs highlights the clip of Patrik Zackrisson scoring for Leksand after being set up by Tyler Kelleher.
Tyler Kelleher keeps making an impact in HockeyAllsvenskan. Here the former IK forward sets up Patrik Zackrisson’s goal.
Hampus Plato scored his first HockeyAllsvenskan goal of the season, earning a mention from the league’s official account.
A former IK player finding the net is always worth a quick Dead Hollow Carver check. Especially when it’s his first goal of the season.
Two former IK players combine on an Almtuna goal: Karl Sterner finds the net off a pass from Oskar Asplund.
A little Dead Hollow in the Uppsala air as Sterner and Asplund share a line on the scoresheet.
Interviews from VF Hockey’s live podcast in Karlstad with Mikkel Öby-Olsen, Victor Ejdsell, Ella Albinsson, Ida Boman and Ole-Kristian Tollefsen.
Öby-Olsen gives the episode a clear Dead Hollow Carver connection, even though IK is not the main topic.
Brynäs are widely tipped to finish near the top in the upcoming SHL season, but @Guteman16 goes against the grain and gives the goaltending duo of Erik Källgren and Magnus Chrona a rating of 2 out of 5.
A specific objection to the widespread Brynäs hype. If the Gävle side are to live up to those lofty predictions, Källgren and Chrona will need to prove these doubts wrong.
Hockeysverige reports Östersunds IK's announcement that Tex Williamsson will leave the club following his short-term stint. He was brought in while Carl Lidö's status was uncertain, but the club has opted for a different goaltending solution even after learning that Lidö will miss the entire season.
The brief spell in Östersund turned out to be his final stop. On 21 September, Tex confirmed that his playing career is over, so this update is best read as the lead-in to his retirement — not the start of a search for another club.
Visby/Roma captain John Dahlström has spoken about the deep cut he suffered during pre-season. HockeyNews reports that the former IK forward will miss Friday’s opener in Oskarshamn and hopes to return for Visby’s home opener against Kalmar.
The Dead Hollow Carver will not be back on the ice at Be-Ge for the opener. Tough for John—and a clear on-ice blow for newly promoted Visby/Roma.
Sarg Ut previews every SHL team ahead of the 2026/27 season. Topics include the favourites, newly promoted Björklöven and the rosters of Luleå, Malmö, Rögle, Linköping, Örebro, Brynäs, Växjö, Timrå, HV71, Djurgården and Färjestad. Several people with previous IK ties are discussed, including Robert Ohlsson, Martin Filander, Fredrik Hallberg, Olof Glifford and Felix Sandström.
A wide-ranging SHL preview with an unusually large number of Dead Hollow Carvers to keep an eye on.
Toppa Lag breaks down Rögle, assesses the new signings and builds its fantasy team. Former IK player Fredrik Olofsson also joins the episode.
Fredrik Olofsson gives the episode a clear Dead Hollow Carver connection, even though Rögle and Fantasy SHL take centre stage.
Fredrik Söderström ranks the 25 best signings in HockeyAllsvenskan, with Marcus Karlberg, Jhonas Enroth and SSK’s North American import among the names discussed.
Söderström provides the Dead Hollow Carver connection, but this is a broad HockeyAllsvenskan ranking rather than a piece about IK.
Former IK defenseman William Worge Kreü has joined Swiss club HC Ambrì-Piotta. The club says the deal runs until Jesse Virtanen returns to action.
The Dead Hollow Carver remains abroad. A short stint in Switzerland to begin with – and another chance to earn a longer stay.
Richard Gynge makes his debut on the Hockeytimes panel. They discuss Marcus Krüger’s extension with Djurgården and the qualities that define a good team captain.
Gynge makes this episode a must for anyone who likes to keep tabs on former Dead Hollow Carvers.
Sanny Lindström and Henric Larsson assess Örebro ahead of the SHL season, focusing on the roster, the goaltending, Robin Salo’s role, the need for more scoring and how the team will play under former IK coach Martin Filander.
Filander’s next project comes under the microscope. One to watch for anyone following the former IK coach’s next chapter in the SHL.
David Slättman rates former IK goaltender Tex Williamsson as the best in HockeyAllsvenskan when he is on form. At the same time, he believes Tex’s injury problems make him too risky as a first-choice goalie.
His ceiling gets top marks. The question is how often Tex can be available — a very familiar discussion when it comes to the former IK netminder.
According to David Slättman, former IK goaltender Tex Williamsson has signed a short-term contract with Östersunds IK. Slättman also points to Williamsson’s .930 save percentage in last season’s playoffs.
Tex is still a very familiar name in Oskarshamn. When he finds his game, he can shut the door. Now Östersund get the chance to see whether that level is still there.
