Göteborg Hockey Club, abbreviated as Göteborg HC or GHC, are an ice hockey club in Angered, a borough of Gothenburg (Göteborg) in southwestern Sweden. They played in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL), the top Swedish women's hockey league, during 2017 to November 2022.[1][2] In early November 2022, the club withdrew from the SDHL.[3][4]
History
Göteborg HC was founded in 2014[5][6] and its representative team earned promotion to the SDHL in 2017. The team finished the regular season in last place during each of the five seasons they completed in the SDHL but they managed to avoid relegation each time.[7]
The club earned its first win in the SDHL in November 2017, with a 4–2 victory over SDE Hockey.[8]
In October 2020, goaltender Frida Axell became the first Göteborg HC player to earn a call-up to the senior Swedish national team.[9]
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.”[10]
