Last weekend saw the deciding matches in the semifinals of this year's SDHL played out in Jönköping and Linköping. Despite being a best of five series, both were completed in "straight sets" with 3-0 victories to last year's finalists Luleå/ MSSK and Linköping HC over HV71 and MODO Hockey respectively. These two will meet again when the series starts on 16 March to decide who will be crowned SDHL champions 2018/9.
