2008 Kvalserien

The 2008 Kvalserien was played between 19 March and 10 April 2008. The top two ranked teams, which were Brynäs and Rögle, qualified for the 2008–09 Elitserien season.

This year's qualification was probably the closest one ever, the excitement went on till the end when 4 out of 6 teams all had 16 points before the game round, when the underdog Rögle beat former Elitserien club Mora at home 3-2 and Brynäs beat Västerås away with 7-0, which made Brynäs win the group followed by Rögle. Before the qualification began, no one believed Rögle could qualify, but they shocked everyone and qualified for the 2008–09 Elitserien season, despite finishing only third in HockeyAllsvenskan. Brynäs finished last in Elitserien, but succeeded to win the qualification and therefore stay in the highest division. Leksand was a big disappointment for everyone, they had been the favourites to have a possibility to qualify, but failed. Even Malmö Redhawks was one of the favourites, but the favourites fell and Rögle surprised everyone. Västerås was the by far worst team in the qualification, being the 5th team of HockeyAllsvenskan and qualified for the qualification in a kind of playoff-series between the teams from 4 to 7 in HockeyAllsvenskan to compete for the last spot in the qualification rounds for Elitserien.
