Hammarby IF Ishockeyförening ("Hammarby IF Ice Hockey Club", or simply Hammarby Hockey) is an ice hockey club founded as "Bajen Fans IF" in 2008 by supporters of the previous incarnation of Hammarby Hockey which went bankrupt that same year. The club plays in Hockeytvåan, the fourth tier of Swedish men's ice hockey, since the 2021–22 season.[1]
In its first five seasons, the club was promoted three times. Prior to the 2013–14 season, the club had failed only once to achieve promotion to a higher league in the Swedish ice hockey system when it was available, as league restructuring prior to the 2010–11 season prevented their immediate rise to Division 2 for that season. Given this success, the club chose to rejoin the Hammarby IF umbrella organization and retake the name "Hammarby IF". This change was approved on 30 May 2013.[2][3][4]
The club currently uses rinks at Kärrtorps IP (men's team) and Zinkensdamm IP (women's team) after previously playing at SDC-hallen. The club has also previously played one-off games at Hovet, the 8,094-seat arena which the former Hammarby Hockey for many years called their home arena.
Even before its bankruptcy, Hammarby Hockey was searching for a place to run all of its professional and youth programs under one roof.[5] That search continues for the new Hammarby Hockey club, which has suggested to municipal authorities to build its own rink in the southern suburb of Kärrtorp, to avoid the difficulties of sharing ice time with many other clubs in other places.[6]
Supporter clubs of Hammarby Hockey include Bajen Fans, Bamsingarna, Ultra Boys, Hammarby Ultras, Söder Bröder, and Bara Bajare.
