History

The sports club that became IK Sirius was founded on 9 August 1907 in the area of Svartbäcken in Uppsala, and got its current name on 5 April 1908 after having been discussing Svartbäckens IK and IK Spurt. At the time, several sports club existed in the city of Uppsala: IFK Uppsala, IF Thor, IF Heimdal, and Upsala IF.{{cite web | url=https://www.siriusfotboll.se/om-ik-sirius/historik/1907-sa-borjade-det/ | title=1907: Så började det }} The sports club was founded for athletics, and took up cross-country skiing, bandy and football in 1908.{{cite encyclopedia |encyclopedia = Nordisk familjeboks sportlexikon: uppslagsverk för sport, gymnastik och friluftsliv. Band 6 S–Övrevoll |title = IK Sirius |trans-title = |url = https://runeberg.org/sportlex/6/0164.html |language = sv |year = 1946 |publisher = Nordisk familjeboks förlag |location = Stockholm |page = 252}} During the first half of the 20th century, the sports club has also practised canoeing, swimming, handball, ice hockey, tennis, wrestling, boxing, and orienteering.

In 1980, the ice hockey department was dissolved.
