Koo-Vee is an ice hockey team in Tampere, Finland. The club currently plays in the Suomi-sarja, the third level of Finnish Hockey.

History

The sports club Tampereen Kilpa-Veljet (TK-V) was established in 1929. Its hockey section was created in 1945, and took on its present name of Koo-Vee in 1958.

They formerly played in the top-level Finnish leagues, the SM-sarja and the SM-liiga, for many years (27 in all). Koo-Vee won the SM-sarja in 1968, finishing one point ahead of Ilves in the standings. This qualified them for the 1969 European Cup, which they withdrew from. They also won the Finnish Cup in 1968.

The club was relegated from the second-level Mestis to the Suomi-sarja at the conclusion of the 2006-07 season.
