Like many other hockey leagues, the Swedish Elitserien sees the same clubs in the semifinal spots for a few years – or a decade – until a newcomer enters the fray and the pattern begins again.

Farjestad has been a Swedish powerhouse since the late 1990s, playing in the final in 1997, ’98, 2001-06 and ’09, winning it in ’02, ’06 and ’09. This season was the first this decade that Farjestad didn’t make it to the semis, losing its quarterfinal series against Skelleftea AIK.
