Professional Ice Hockey Tickets - Stockholm, Oslo or Gothenburg

We'll be traveling through these three cities in late September and I'm wondering if the hockey season will have started and if so is there a website wherein we can purchase tickets. Also as we aren't familiar with the teams or leagues is there a league or team/s that we should look for if we are looking for professional level hockey?

Many thanks in advance for any advice/direction you may be able to provide us.

I'm not an expert (I follow the NHL here in the States) but I believe the Swedish Elite League is the highest level of hockey in Sweden. Looks like the season starts on 9/13. I cannot find a schedule in English.

From Wikipedia ~
Elitserien, (also known as the Swedish Elite League or the SEL, as it is often unofficially called in English[1]) is a professional ice hockey league composed of twelve teams in Sweden. It is the highest-level ice hockey league in Sweden[2] and, based on average player salaries in 2006, is ranked as the fourth highest paying professional ice hockey league in the world (behind the National Hockey League, Russian Superleague (now the KHL), and the Czech Extraliga).[3] As of 2010–11, Elitserien is the world's most evenly matched professional ice hockey league.[4] It's also the most attended league in Europe, averaging 6,385 spectators per game in the 2011–12 regular season.[5]

Here is the website (in Swedish):
