On April 3, 2026, hockey player Oliwer Sjöström reportedly called Skellefteå the worst club he knows, according to sources from Kuriren and Norrländska Socialdemokraten. He is prepared to possibly finish the season with Björklöven, which is competing for a spot in the SHL. Sjöström said there is no team he would rather beat than Skellefteå, a rival of both Luleå Hockey and Björklöven.
He reportedly struggled after a successful start and being benched by Magnus Bogren, with his confidence at a low point, but felt relieved to return to play.
