==History==
'''Färjestad BK''' was founded on 10 November 1932 at Håfström Kiosk by Sven Bryhske, Gösta Jonsson, Sven Larsson and Erik Myren.  Initially the association's main sport was bandy.  Ice hockey was first included in 1956.

In 1965, Färjestad were promoted to the top division (at that time Division 1 Southern) which they succeeded in winning for the first time in 1973.  During the 1974/75 season, Färjestad qualified for [[1975–76 Elitserien season|the first season]] of [[Swedish Hockey League|Elitserien]], and have since never been demoted.
