The 2013 Kvalserien was the 39th Kvalserien, consisting of two Elitserien (SHL) teams and four HockeyAllsvenskan teams. It began on 14 March 2013 and ended on 5 April 2013. The 2013 Kvalserien determined which two teams of the participating ones would play in the 2013âÂÂ14 SHL season and which four teams would play in the 2013âÂÂ14 HockeyAllsvenskan season.
For the first time since 2006, neither of the two Elitserien teams â TimrÃÂ¥ IK and Rögle BK â managed to defend their spot in the top-tier league. Instead, HockeyAllsvenskan teams ÃÂrebro HK and Leksands IF took the two available spots for the 2013âÂÂ14 SHL season. ÃÂrebro went undefeated in regulation time throughout the ten games and secured promotion in the seventh round (of ten), while Leksand secured their SHL spot in the following round. ÃÂrebro promoted to the SHL for the first time in club history (another ÃÂrebro team, ÃÂrebro IK, last played in the Elitserien in 1978âÂÂ79), while Leksand returned to the SHL for the first time since the 2005âÂÂ06 season. TimrÃÂ¥ were relegated to HockeyAllsvenskan for the first time since 2000, while Rögle's return to Elitserien lasted for only one season.
