Despite offering to play at half his previous salary, and much to the dismay of the fans, Frölunda icon Tomi Kallio was not offered a new contract and eventually signed with Elitserien's newcomer Växjö Lakers. The goaltending was completely overhauled as goalie coach Michael Lehner, and goaltenders Johan Holmqvist and Joakim Lundström left the team and were replaced by goalie coach Micce Andréasson and his aspirant Magnus Hellberg, as well as Danish national Fredrik Andersen, and a local prospect Linus Fernström.

Färjestad was the only team in the league without a win in regulation time (60 minutes) after the first 11 games, having faced all teams in the league once. Färjestad were also located on the 12th and final spot with only 8 points in the standings at that time. This brought Niklas Czarnecki's head-coaching position for the club into question by many experts, although Czarnecki remained in the club at that time.

In their 12th game of the season, where they met Frölunda on 15 October 2011 at Löfbergs Lila Arena, Färjestad took an inevitable 2–1 win in front of 7,566 spectators and also took their first regulation-time win of the season, advancing to the 11th spot in the standings.

On 13 October 2011, new Färjestad forward Hannes Hyvönen received a match penalty when he illegally made a hit to the head of Per Hallin to the boards in a home game against Timrå. As a consequence, Hyvönen was suspended for three games and fined 14,000 SEK. Just two weeks later, on 29 October, Czech defenceman Martin Ševc also received a match penalty, was suspended for three games and had to pay an 18,000 SEK fine after making hate speech against HV71 defenceman Daniel Rahimi.

2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University in the 2011–2012 NCAA Division I basketball season. They were led by John Thompson III and played their home games at the Verizon Center. They are a member of the Big East Conference. Prior to the season, the Hoyas made a goodwill trip to China for several matches with local teams. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden attended their first game, a win over the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons. Their second game, against the Bayi Rockets, ended in a brawl, causing the team to leave the court while Chinese fans threw garbage and debris. Georgetown won their final games against the Liaoning Dinosaurs and the Taiwanese national team without incident.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Before the season began, the team was picked to finish tenth in the Big East Conference standings. However, early road wins against ranked teams like Memphis, Alabama, and Louisville made the team one of the biggest surprises of the 2011–2012 season, elevating their ranking into the top ten in the nation. With a 12–6 conference record, they finished in a three-way tie for fourth place, with tie breakers placing them fifth, over South Florida but behind Cincinnati.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The team was ranked No. 15 in the season's final Associated Press Poll and No. 17 in the postseason Coaches' Poll.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
During the offseason, a major shakeup had taken place in the Georgetown roster. Three stars, guard Austin Freeman and forwards Julian Vaughn and Chris Wright, had graduated in 2011, and sophomore reserve guard Vee Sanford had transferred to Dayton after the end of the previous season. Joining the team as freshmen was a much-heralded recruiting class consisting of Mikeal Hopkins, Otto Porter, and Greg Whittington at forward, Jabril Trawick at guard, and Tyler Adams at center, and, after sitting out the previous season, forward Aaron Bowen also began play as a redshirt freshman.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Returning upperclassmen were seniors Jason Clark at guard and Henry Sims at center, junior Hollis Thompson at forward, and sophomores Moses Ayegba at center, Nate Lubick at forward, and Markel Starks at guard. Also returning was sophomore John Caprio, a walk-on playing for his second year as a reserve guard. The loss of Freeman, Vaughn, and Wright left the Hoyas with a young and inexperienced team with 10 freshmen and sophomores on the roster for the 2011–12 season and they began the year unranked in the national polls. Expectations for the season were lower than they had been for the past few years, and before the season began, the Big East's coaches picked the Hoyas to finish in 10th place in the 16-team conference.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Goodwill tour of China
For the first time in their history, the Hoyas went on an overseas trip to play a series of exhibition games – something the NCAA permitted once every four years – visiting China for 10 days in August 2011. Georgetown intended the team's 10-day goodwill tour to be an athletic, cultural, and educational exchange to promote Georgetown University internationally, and scheduled two games in Beijing – billed together as a "China-U.S. Basketball Friendship Match"  – followed by two in Shanghai, meeting three Chinese teams and one from Taiwan. The Hoyas won the first game, with Vice President Joe Biden looking on.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Goodwill tour of China
The second game, against the Bayi Rockets, a military team from the Chinese Basketball Association composed of People's Liberation Army personnel, was a rough one, with 11 fouls called against Bayi and 28 against Georgetown in the first half alone.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Goodwill tour of China
The rough play continued in the second half and the game took on an uglier character, as at one point Bayi forward Xu Zhonghao approached head coach John Thompson III as he stood near the bench and yelled at him at close range, and play had to be stopped again a few moments later when Bayi player Wang Lei was called for a technical foul and vociferously disputed the call.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Goodwill tour of China
Finally, with 9:32 left to play in the game and the score tied at 64-64, Bayi center-forward Hu Ke fouled Jason Clark, Clark complained to him about it, and the two began shoving each other. Both benches cleared, and an estimated six separate fights took place on the court. Members of the crowd, one of them armed with a stanchion, came on the court to join the fight, and some people threw chairs at the Georgetown players. The Chinese officiating crew fled, and Chinese security personnel made no effort to intervene and calm the crowd.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Goodwill tour of China
Fearing for his players' safety, head coach John Thompson III pulled his team off the court as Chinese fans bombarded the Hoyas and their fan section with water bottles. The game never was finished, and no box score for it was posted. An unidentified United States Department of State official and a spokesman for the Embassy of China in Washington, D.C., both called the brawl "unfortunate."


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Goodwill tour of China
Despite the ugly incident, the Hoyas continued their trip. Before leaving Beijing, the Georgetown team and Bayi players met to exchange apologies and parted company on friendlier terms. Boosted by the infamy of the brawl in Beijing, Georgetown's next game, played in Shanghai, was a hot ticket, and Chinese officials and security personnel kept tight control of the game and the crowd to ensure that nothing untoward happened. Georgetown won both games in Shanghai without any additional controversy, and Hoya coaches and players spent time at a special basketball clinic for Chinese youth, finishing the trip on a positive note.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Non-conference schedule
A little less than three months after returning from China, Georgetown began the 2011–12 season with two easy wins at the Verizon Center. In the first, over a Savannah State team coached by former Hoya player Horace Broadnax, Henry Sims came off the bench to score a game-high and career-high 19 points and Hollis Thompson added 13, while Otto Porter grabbed a game-high eight rebounds.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Non-conference schedule
The second win was in a game played at the Verizon Center as part of the "Opening Round" of the Maui Invitational Tournament, a newly established round of play in which four teams headed for the tournament on Maui played at home against four mid-major teams which would remain in the Mainland United States to compete with one another in a parallel tournament of their own while the Maui-bound teams played the main tournament in Hawaii.

Freshman center Tyler Adams played 11 minutes in the NJIT game on December 3. Seeing no further action, he suffered chest pains during practice on December 14 and was taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia that had the potential to make strenuous activities like basketball dangerous and even lethal, although it was also possible that he could play through an entire career with no serious health problem.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Non-conference schedule
Although Adams's parents encouraged him to accept the risk and keep playing, John Thompson III did not want him to risk his health, but offered to keep him on scholarship with a medical hardship waiver so that he could attend Georgetown without counting against the team's scholarship limit.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Non-conference schedule
After a month of entertaining offers from other schools that said they would clear him to play if he transferred and contemplating his future, Adams decided to forego his college playing career to stay at Georgetown, saying that he lacked the athleticism to succeed in a National Basketball Association career and that it was important to take advantage of the opportunity to earn a Georgetown degree.


2011–12 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap, Non-conference schedule
Adams became a fixture on the team's bench through the end of his senior season, functioning as a de facto assistant coach – and John Thompson III would honor him by allowing him one last collegiate appearance as a player in the final Georgetown home game of his senior year in March 2015.

Rising to No. 12 in the AP Poll, Georgetown began its Big East season on December 28 by visiting No. 4 Louisville, the Hoyas′ fourth ranked opponent of the year.

Jason Clark had a game-high 16 points against the Friars, while Henry Sims added 11 points and Otto Porter grabbed 12 rebounds.
