2011–12 Djurgårdens IF (men's hockey) season
Professional ice hockey team season of play
The 2011–12 Djurgårdens IF Hockey season is Djurgården's 36th season in the Swedish elite league, Elitserien. The regular season began on away ice on September 15, 2011 against HV71 and concluded on March 6, 2012 also on away ice against HV71.
Djurgården finished 11th in the regular season and were therefore forced to play in the 2012 Kvalserien to survive in the highest division, marking the club's first Kvalserien appearance in 30 years. The Kvalserien was played between 15 March and 6 April 2012. Djurgården failed to stay in the highest division and went on to play in the second-tier league HockeyAllsvenskan for the 2012–13 season.
Pre-season
European Trophy
Djurgården's 2011–12 pre-season included the international tournament European Trophy. Djurgården were placed in the north division along with Slavia Praha, Sparta Praha, Jokerit, HIFK and Luleå HF. Additional games were also played against Red Bull Salzburg, KalPa and Linköpings HC. Djurgården started off successfully with four straight wins, before losing the fifth game in overtime away against HIFK (although Djurgården came back from a 0–3 deficit to tie the game). However, the club lost the three remaining games. The game against Luleå ended with a bench-clearing brawl, which led to three Djurgården players and two Luleå players receiving a game misconduct penalty. After losing the last game against Linköping, Djurgården had to rely on Luleå losing their last game to qualify for the playoffs.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2011–12 Djurgårdens IF (men's hockey) season” as professional ice hockey team season of play. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as professional ice hockey team season of play. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4623564. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011 and 2012.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
