Skellefteå AIK

Skellefteå AIK is a Swedish professional ice hockey club from Skellefteå, playing in the SHL, the highest tier of ice hockey in Sweden. They play their games in Skellefteå Kraft Arena, which seats 6,001 spectators. The team has won the Swedish Championship three times – in 1978, 2013, and 2014.

Skellefteå AIK was founded in 1921, although hockey was not played until 1943, with only training matches being played the first season. In the 1943–44 season, the club played in the local league Skellefteserien, which could not be finished due to unsuitable hockey weather as the games were played outdoors.
