Göteborg Hockey Club, abbreviated as Göteborg HC or GHC, are a professional ice hockey club in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). They play in Angered, a borough of Gothenburg (Swedish: Göteborg) in the southwestern Swedish province of Västergötland, at the Angered Arena. They have played in the SDHL, the top Swedish women's hockey league, since 2017.[1][2] In early November 2022, the club left the SDHL during regular season.[3]
History
The club was founded in 2014.[4][5] Since earning promotion to the SDHL in 2017, the team has finished in last place each season, but has managed to avoid relegation.[6]
The club earned its first win in the SDHL in November 2017, with a 4–2 victory over SDE Hockey.[7]
In October 2020, goaltender Frida Axell became the first Göteborg HC player to earn a call-up to the senior Swedish national team.[8]
In the community
In addition to the senior representative team, Göteborg HC operates a free youth hockey school at Angered Arena on Sundays, offering all-girls and coed classes. Frölunda Hockey Club of the Swedish Hockey League has donated funds to GHC to help support, as Frölunda's Academy and Development Manager Mikael Ström described, “the important work GHC is doing in Angered.” Regarding Göteborg HC's hockey school and its partnership with Frölunda HC, GHC president Jan Mellgren said, “We think it is important to build hockey in multicultural areas and we have a good collaboration with Frölunda in that work.”[9]
