History
IK Göta was founded October 1, 1900, and was one of the pioneers in Swedish ice hockey. The team took the initiative to form the Swedish Ice Hockey Association in 1922 and won the first Swedish Championship against Hammarby IF with a score of 6-0 the same year. In total, they won nine Swedish Championships, the last one in 1948.

The team played in the highest league, now the Swedish Hockey League, in Sweden for 34 seasons and won nine championships, last time in 1948. The ice hockey section merged with Tranebergs IF in 2007, forming junior and senior teams under the name Göta Traneberg IK.

The club was founded by Gothenburg guest workers who moved to Stockholm to escape unemployment. Therefore the name "IK Göta". The first site the team played at was the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. A few years later the teams site were moved to nearby Östermalms IP. The team relocated in mid 1970s to the Bromma area, a Stockholm suburb within the city limits. The sporting grounds were named "Stora Mossen" after the old classic sporting ground in Gothenburg City with the same name.
