Quick Facts City, League ...

The club was founded in 1988 as Team Kiruna IF, a merger of the hockey departments of Kiruna AIF and IFK Kiruna. They made their debut playing in Division 1 when it was the second tier of Swedish hockey. Following the 2002–03 season, the club voluntarily withdrew from the second-tier league Allsvenskan due to financial problems. They have competed in the third-level league Hockeyettan (formerly named Division 1) since the 2003–04 season.

In June 2014, Kiruna IF announced that they would play the 2014–15 season with rainbow-coloured match jerseys to support the LGBT community, becoming the first LGBT-certified sports club in Sweden.[1][2][3][4]
