Storhamar Hockey is a Norwegian ice hockey club based in Hamar. They are members of the highest Norwegian ice hockey league, Eliteserien (known as GET-ligaen for sponsorship reasons). Their home arena has been Hamar OL-Amfi since 1992. [1] Ice hockey in Hamar was first played in 1955 by boys who had been inspired by the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo. This became the basis of Storhamar Ishockey, which was founded in 1957 as a department of the sports club Storhamar IL. [2] Since 1998, they have been marketing themselves as the Storhamar Dragons. [3] As of 2010, they have completed thirty seasons in the Eliteserien, winning 670 regular season games and seven league titles.
Storhamar qualified for the 2. divisjon (second tier) in 1962 as the first team outside Oslo, [4] and were promoted to the highest division, 1. divisjon (Eliteserien from 1990 onwards), for the first time in 1977. During the 1990s, the Dragons established themselves as one of the leadings teams in Norway, winning their first Norwegian Championship title in 1995. Between the 1993–94 season and 1999–2000 season, they contested all seven Finals, winning four times. After losing out in the semi-finals in 2001, the Dragons have reached another five Finals, winning twice.
