history

The club was founded in 1969 after a spin-off from Norrby IF . Until 2007 they played in lower class leagues before the team won the Division 1 championship in 2007 . With a 6: 3 win over Hammarby Hockey , they were promoted to HockeyAllsvenskan . As part of the promotion, a cooperation agreement was signed with the first-class Frölunda HC .
