Edsbyns IF has played in the highest bandy league in Sweden from 1945–1969 and then again since 1971.
Edsbyns IF was founded in 1909.[2]
In September 2003, Edsbyn moved to Edsbyn Arena, the first indoor arena for bandy in Sweden, and won the Swedish Championship final in the end of the season.[3]
On 26 March 2004, Edsbyns IF played a men's bandy exhibition game at the Streatham Ice Arena in London against Russian Super League team Vodnik, which ended with a 10-10 draw.[4]
The club's bandy section was awarded the Hälsingland Golden Award in 2004. The award has also been given to various individual sportspeople competing for the club.[5]
In June 2009, the club decided to dissolve the women's bandy team for the 2009–2010 season, while keeping the girls' bandy activity and attempting to re-start the women's team as soon as possible.[6][7] On 4 October 2009, the women's bandy team Team Hälsingland was established instead, as a cooperation between Bollnäs GIF, Broberg/Söderhamn Bandy, Edsbyns IF and Ljusdals BK.[8]
Team Hälsingland shut down in 2017. Three years later, 2020, Edsbyn IF launched a new women's bandy team. Which as of today (03 february 2024) is playing in Norra Allsvenskan, the Swedish second highest league in bandy.
