AaB Ice hockey (Danish: AaB Ishockey) was the name of the professional ice hockey team that played in the best Danish ice hockey league, AL-Bank Ligaen.
History
An ice hockey team organized under the sports club of that name first appeared in 1967, played several years in the Danish league and won the Danish league championship in 1981.
In 1997 AaB Ishockey merged with a smaller club, IK Aalborg. The merged team was known as Aalborg Ishockey Klub (AIK) in the period 1997-2003, but following financial instability at the club, the professional license was transferred to Aalborg Boldspilklub or AaB.
The team was located in Aalborg in the northern part of Jutland and ceased operations at the end of the 2011/2012 season.
The team has been replaced by a whole new team and organization that is called Aalborg Pirates.
