MoDo Hockey are an ice hockey team in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL), the top flight of women's hockey in Sweden. They play in Örnsköldsvik, in the historical province of Ångermanland on the east coast of Sweden, at the Hägglunds Arena. The club's farm team, Modo Hockey 2, plays in the North division of the Nationella Damhockeyligan (NDHL).

History

[edit]

The women's section of Modo Hockey was formed in 1968 under the name of Modo AIK, playing the first ever organised women's hockey match in Sweden against Timrå IK in 1969. As there was no organised league, the match was only a training match.[1] The club finished in third place in the first official Swedish Championship, held in the 1987–88 season, and finished in second place a year later. The club would go on to become on the best in Sweden in the early 2000s, finishing in the playoff top-three for three consecutive years between 2000 and 2003, and eight years in a row between 2004 and 2012. The 2012 Riksserien season would also mark Modo's first-ever playoffs championship win.

In recent years, the club has suffered problems retaining top players, losing all-time top scorer Erika Grahm to Brynäs IF and American Olympian Sidney Morin to Linköping HC prior to the 2018, as well as defenceman Gracen Hirschy to Linköping HC in 2020.[2][3] After the club finished in second place in the 2018–19 regular season and were eliminated in the playoff semi-finals by Linköping, the club's two top scorers as well as long-time defender Johanna Olofsson left.[4] The club would then finish in 9th in the 2019–20 season, the first time that the club ever had to participate in the relegation playoffs. The club was able to defend their place in the SDHL after beating Skellefteå AIK 7–0 across two matches.[5]
