History

1942–1975: The club's roots

In 1942, a group of football players of BK Kenty founded the ice hockey club BK Robbi, who mostly played friendlies against other local clubs on Stångån during the winter.[2] The board of Kenty had first been hesitant to establish a hockey department, but in 1945, the two clubs merged following lengthy discussions.[3] Being heavily dependent on weather conditions, Kenty only played 30 games in five seasons during the second half of the 1940s.[4] By the end of the 1950's, Kenty had established itself in Division 2, the domestic second tier. Meanwhile, the club was also granted a permanent home ground at Folkungavallen, close to the city centre.[5] In 1969, Kenty merged with another local club, IK Terra.[6] In the 1970's, Kenty suffered from internal differences, since part of the club's board wanted to financially prioritize football in favor of ice hockey.

1976–1998: Foundation of LHC and rise to Elitserien

Linköping HC was founded on 4 August 1976, as a spin-off from BK Kenty, and moved in to the newly-built indoor arena Stångebro Ishall.[7][8]

1999–: Establishment in the top division

Linköping HC first played in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL; formerly Elitserien) in the 1999–2000 season, and has been in the top division since the 2001–02 season. They have reached the playoffs eight times. LHC reached the final for the first time in 2006–07, where they lost to Modo Hockey. In the 2007–08 season, Linköping HC advanced to the final again, this time against HV71; they lost and won the silver medal.
