Bajen Fans Hockey

In a fantastic triumph of idealism and common sense the bankrupt Hammarby Icehockey team has risen from the ashes. It was not done by administrators taking over after bankruptcy but by the fans themselves.

Rather than trying to salvage the bankrupt club the fans decided to start afresh. This meant playing in a local league (4th division, Western Stockholm, in reality 7th division). It was said it couldn't be done, even the management of the failed team were sceptic.

Now, with only one game left to play, a team comprising of ex-Hammarby players as well as fans who were more used to the terraces than the rinks has secured promotion to 3rd division.

Hopefully this is only the start, we will finally have a team that is run within it economical limits, and always mindful that its existence is only due to its supporters.
