history

Presentation of the Le Mat Cup 1938.

AIK's ice hockey department is the club's second most successful department alongside the soccer section. When at the Summer Olympics in 1920 one of Bandyspielern compiled Swedish Hockey selection could make the tournament successful and finished fourth, the sport established in Sweden and was also at AIK in 1921 a team. However, this was dissolved in 1923, but was rebuilt in 1925. In the 1929/30 season she was able to move up to the first-class Elitserien and stood for the first time in the Swedish championship final, which was lost to IK Göta 2-0. The AIK team was able to put its stamp on the championships in the 1930s and 1940s in particular. In 1934 the first title was won, which was defended in 1935. Up to the fifth title win in 1947, AIK was a total of seven times in the final.

Thanks to these successes, AIK was one of the founding members of Allsvenskan in 1948 . In 1953, however, the team rose for the first time and changed several times between the first and second division in the following years. It was not until 1961 that AIK was able to establish itself again in the top class. After several participations in the championship series, the runner-up behind Brynäs IF succeeded in 1968 . In the following years, too, the team was often in the finals, places in the front no longer get.

In 1975 AIK managed to qualify for the single-track Elitserien and three years later reached a final for the Swedish championship for the first time since 1947. In the first game Skellefteå AIK could be beaten 5-1, the second game was lost 2-5. Since the playoff game in Scandinavium for AIK was lost 3: 4, the team was again only runner-up. After missing the final in the following two years, AIK reached the final again in 1981. Again the team had to admit defeat, Färjestad BK won three games.

In 1982 AIK was again in the final and met IF Björklöven . After both teams won two finals, the fifth game in the Scandinavium had to bring the decision. AIK won it 3-2 and won the Swedish championship 35 years after the last title win. After being in the semi-finals the following year, AIK moved into the final again in 1984 and met local rivals Djurgårdens IF. With two victories, AIK won the seventh championship title in the club's history.

The luck only lasted for a short time, two years later AIK rose again from the first division as bottom of the table. 1987 succeeded the immediate return and a year later the team was back in the championship finals, but failed in the quarterfinals at the eventual master Djurgårdens IF. After places in the middle of the table, AIK rose again in 1993. Again the immediate return succeeded and in 1997 AIK was in the semifinals for the first time since winning the championship, but failed to Luleå HF . In the following years, the team wavered between relegation battle and the final. In 2002, the team was relegated again before the team in 2004 had to be relegated to the third division due to economic problems. From 2005 AIK played again in the second-rate HockeyAllsvenskan and in 2010 made it into the elite series in the Kvalserien.
