Skellefteå AIK are an ice hockey team in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). They play in Skellefteå, a city on the northeastern coast of Sweden, at the Skellefteå Kraft Arena. The team was first established ahead of the 2002–03 season but was dissolved for financial reasons in 2008. Reestablished in 2017, the present iteration of the team earned promotion to the SDHL in 2024.[1] [2]
Skellefteå AIK Hockey first established a representative women's team prior to the 2002–03 season. At that time, no national league for women's ice hockey in Sweden existed and the highest level of competition was regional. Through the regional competitions, teams could qualify for the Swedish Championship in women's ice hockey, a national tournament that was played annually in March.
As a part of the ice hockey association of Västerbotten, Skellefteå AIK falls under the jurisdiction of the Region Norr, the regional ice hockey governering body that regulates six of northern Sweden's provincial associations as a subsidiary of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association (SIF). The team began participating in competitions organized by Region Norr in 2002, playing in Group B during the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons. They ranked third in Group B at the conclusion of both seasons, finishing behind MoDo HK and BK Ume-Trixa both times.[3] [4]
