history
The ice hockey department was founded in Halden on December 1, 1961 and without its own ice rink - the team played in the Sparta Amfi from 1963 to 1988 - the club struggled to emerge from the shadows of the large clubs in their area, such as the Sparta Warriors or learn to step out. Only with the construction of its own ice rink in 1988, the Halden ishall, did the boom come. At the beginning of the 1990s, the club made the leap to the second highest division and in 1995 only narrowly failed in advancing to the highest division.
In 1997, severe financial problems forced the club to start over in the third division. Thanks to the Swedish entrepreneur Siwert Hjalmarsson, it was possible to rebuild the club and in 2004 to celebrate the greatest success in the club's history. In the promotion round Hasle / Løren was defeated and thus secured promotion to the top division. Thanks to many Swedish players, the team was able to establish itself here and was an integral part of the GET-leagues.
In October 2009 the club withdrew from the GET-ligaen game operations for financial reasons. For the 2010/11 season the game was continued under the name Ishockeyklubben Comet Halden after the club had applied for a license to participate in the second highest league, the 1st divisjon . The Czech Jiří Jantovský was signed as head coach . The team finished the 2010/11 season with 56 points from 36 games in second place behind Tønsberg og Omegn IHK . The two teams met again after the qualifying games for promotion to the GET league. The two first division teams Manglerud Star Ishockey and Stjernen prevailed and managed to stay in the league, while IK Comet and Tønsberg og Omegn IHK also remained in their league.
