History

AIK were promoted to Riksserien, the predecessor of the SDHL, in 2008.[1] They won the Swedish Championship twice in their first five top-flight seasons, in 2009 and 2013.

In 2017, the team participated in the Minnesota Whitecaps' tour of Stockholm, playing against them on 22 August.[2]

After dropping in the standings again, down to 7th in the 2017–18 season, Jared Cipparone was brought in to take over as head coach for the club.[3] That summer, the club also slightly increased its investment in its women's side, building a new locker room for the women.[4]

On the 22 February 2020, AIK was eliminated by Djurgårdens IF Hockey in the playoff quarterfinals in a match that went to the third overtime period, passing 100 minutes of game-time and setting an SDHL record for the longest match.[5][6] After the end of the season, 8th-leading scorer in SDHL history Fanny Rask decided to retire from hockey, citing frustration with the financial insecurity in women's hockey.[7][8]
