History
Frölunda HC chose to form a women's team in 2022, one year after the club introduced a hockeygymnasiet program for girls. The club highlighted its desire to build an elite team for its eight hockeygymnasiet students, to provide an opportunity for other girls in the greater region to play at the senior level without having to move far from home, and to attract senior players originally from the Västergötland area who were playing with other teams but would return to Gothenburg to play with Frölunda HC. Regarding Göteborg HC, the Gothenburg-based team already active in the SDHL, Frölunda HC Chairman Mats Grauers felt "there is room for two senior teams [in Gothenburg]."[1]
Kim Martin Hasson was appointed the nascent team's first general manager and Erika Holst took the reins as its first head coach.[2] Major signings ahead of the inaugural season included Hanna Olsson from HV71, Andrea Schjelderup Dalen and Stephanie Neatby from Linköping HC, Sarah-Ève Coutu-Godbout from AIK Hockey, and Michelle Karvinen from the KRS Vanke Rays.
The team debuted in the Nationella Damhockeyligan (NDHL) in fall 2022 with the stated intention to gain promotion to the SDHL for the 2023–24 season. They quickly established themselves as a dominant presence in the NDHL and whitewashed their divisional rivals to claim victory in Damettan Södra. The winning streak continued in HockeyAllsvenskan Södra and, after claiming victory against IF Troja-Ljungby and IF Björklöven in the conference playoff, Frölunda earned advancement to the SDHL qualifying series. After playing only two qualification games, they gained promotion to the SDHL.[3]
