Linkki was founded on May 12, 1967, and was the first basketball special club in Kuopio and Northern Savonia. The club set a record for its membership (324) in 1993. The link rose for the first time in the Men's First Division for the period 1980-1981 but fell to a lower league level after one season. A new ascent to the First Division took place in the 1990s, when the club was close to ascending to the Men's Finnish Championships series.[2] At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, Linkki also played in the Finnish Championships in wheelchair basketball, finishing fourth at best.[3]
