The regular season began on 17 September 2011 away against Mora IK, and concluded on 2 March 2012 away against Almtuna IS. The Playoff round began on 4 March and ended on 12 March 2012. The season saw Malmö Redhawks attempting to reach the Kvalserien qualification for Elitserien, after businessman Hugo Stenbeck bought the Redhawks in January 2011.http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/ishockey/redhawks/article1367824/Hugo-Stenbeck-koper-Redhawks.html Hugo Stenbeck köper Redhawks Sydsvenskan Swedish 2011-01-28 2011-05-17 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110131074016/http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/ishockey/redhawks/article1367824/Hugo-Stenbeck-koper-Redhawks.html 2011-01-31 The Redhawks finished 7th in the league and qualified for the Playoff round, where they finished 2nd and failed to qualify for the 2012 Kvalserien for Elitserien. Summary The Redhawks started the season with eight pre-season games against professional teams from Norway and Germany as well as Sweden. Malmö went 5–2–1 in those eight games (5 wins, 2 losses, 1 tie). The regular season began pretty well. With 29 points and a top 3 spot in the first two months, everything seemed to be going as intended as the Redhawks fought for a direct spot to the 2012 Kvalserien. However, after only getting 18 points in November, as well as beginning December with three consecutive losses, Malmö jumped down to a spot below top 7, which would have been required to even guarantee a playoff spot. Malmö had enough of then head coach Leif Strömberg, who was fired from the club on 10 December as a result. Ulf Taavola, at that time assistant coach for the team, took over the head-coaching job and Patrik Sylvegård entered the team as new assistant coach.http://www.malmoredhawks.com/Nyheter/111210-Tranare/ Ny huvudtränare Malmö Redhawks Swedish Martin Nathalie 2011-12-10 2011-12-10 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120406214222/http://www.malmoredhawks.com/Nyheter/111210-Tranare/ 2012-04-06 http://www.malmoredhawks.com/Nyheter/Ny-assisterande-tranare1/ Patrik Sylvegård ny assisterande tränare Malmö Redhawks Swedish Martin Nathalie 2011-12-26 2011-12-27 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120516212804/http://www.malmoredhawks.com/Nyheter/Ny-assisterande-tranare1/ 2012-05-16 Malmö continued to struggle for a playoff spot throughout January, despite getting 10 points that month, five more than the previous month. The team improved sharply in February, posting 16 points in seven games. As a result, Malmö returned to a playoff spot. In the two last games of February, Malmö had their chance to secure a spot in the playoffs with a win, but failed. As a result, the Redhawks were forced to win the last game of the season, which was against Almtuna. The game was a nail-biter for 59 minutes, but with just one minute left on the clock, Malmö captain Linus Klasen scored the only goal of the game to send the Redhawks to the Playoff round.http://www.malmoredhawks.com/Nyheter/120302-Almtuna1/ https://archive.today/20120904073606/http://www.malmoredhawks.com/Nyheter/120302-Almtuna1/ dead 2012-09-04 Malmö Redhawks säkrade förkvalserieplatsen Malmö Redhawks Swedish Winnberg Christian 2012-03-02 2012-03-02 The Playoff round started well, but because Malmö only received one extra point due to the 7th seed in the regular season, the Redhawks were two points outside the spot for the 2012 Kvalserien going into the final game. While Malmö won their game 4–1, Rögle won their game 7–0 and took the Kvalserien spot due to better goal difference than Malmö, ending the Redhawks' 2011–12 season.
