history

The foundation of the ice hockey section of Storhamar IL was the 1952 Olympic Games , which inspired young people from Hamar West to play ice hockey. The first game was played before the division was founded in 1956. The team lost 4: 9 against Valerenga Oslo . A year later, the club officially registered with the Norwegian Ice Hockey Federation. The founding date was set on March 18, 1957.

In the 1960s, the club established itself and won numerous regional championships, whereupon it was also reported for national championships. Just ten years after it was founded, the association gained an ever greater reputation and the number of members rose.

In the 1970s, the club established itself in national ice hockey, despite poor infrastructure and a natural ice rink. In March 1977, the preliminary climax came with promotion to the 1st division. For the next season , Storhamar IL also received the desired artificial ice rink.

After some economic problems, the team was able to celebrate their return to the 1st division in 1982 . In the mid-80s, Storhamar finally made the breakthrough and became a top team in Norway, despite difficult economic conditions.

With the 1994 Olympic Games in Lillehammer , the club was given a new home. The newly built Olympic Amfi ice rink was his home from now on. From then on it went better in terms of sport and thanks to many new sponsors, the turbulent times were a thing of the past. The club was able to sign a number of good players who gave the club its first championship in 1995 . After that, the Dragons dominated Norwegian ice hockey for two more years and were also Norwegian champions in 1996 and 1997 . During that time, they set a record of 30 games without a loss. In 1998 the nickname Dragons was added and a new club crest was created. Between 1998 and 2015, the men's team ran under the name Storhamar Dragons Dragons, before the club returned to its original name ( Storhamar Hockey ).

The fourth championship took place in 2000 . However, the financial problems increased again and the club was close to bankruptcy a few times. But new sponsors kept the club afloat at short notice.

While the club was defeated in the play-off finals in 2002 and 2003 , it was able to celebrate its fifth title after a contested final in 2004. The team defeated long-term rivals Vålerenga Ishockey in front of a record crowd . Storhamar Hockey is currently still one of the best clubs in the country, in 2018 the club won the seventh championship, in the final the Lillehammer IK was defeated. Due to the runner-up title in 2015 and the Norwegian championship title in 2018, Storhamar qualified for the 2015/16 and 2018/19 seasons of the Champions Hockey League . The club survived the preliminary round and reached the last sixteen.
