The PaRa men's representative team competes in the III-divisioona, the fifth-tier men's national ice hockey league in Finland. At its peak during the 1950s and 1960s, the team competed in the third-tier Maakuntasarja (replaced by 2. Divisioona in 1975, which was itself replaced by the Suomi-sarja in 1999).[3]
PaRa has an agreement with the minor affiliate club of Lukko, through which it co-operates two women's teams in the Finnish national leagues.[4] The club's representative women's team, PaRa/Lukko, plays in the third-tier Naisten Suomi-sarja. Lukko's representative women's team, Lukko/PaRa, plays in the second-tier Naisten Mestis.[5]
