BIK Karlskoga is a Swedish ice hockey club based in Karlskoga, Sweden. They are currently playing in the second highest league in Sweden, the HockeyAllsvenskan. In 1963, the club IFK Bofors was merged with Karlskoga IF and formed KB 63 (formally IF Karlskoga/Bofors). Between 1978 and 2011 the club was known as Bofors IK, which was then changed to its current name.[1]

Karlskoga has been a stable fixture in Sweden's second tier leagues, playing in HockeyAllsvenskan and its predecessors since 1997.[2] They're the only team to have played all seasons of Sweden's second tier since that time, as well as the only team to have played every season of its current form, HockeyAllsvenskan.

Team history

Founded on April 12, 1978, as Bofors IK.[3]

Karlskoga Municipality municipal board decided to purchase the rights to the club name on December 6, 2011, thus changing its name to BIK Karlskoga.[4]

In 1978, the club elected its first chairperson, Knut Larsson.
