Luleå Hockey/MSSK are a semi-professional ice hockey team in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). They play in Luleå, a port city in northeastern Sweden, at Coop Norrbotten Arena. The team is the most successful in SDHL history, having been regular season champions for four consecutive years, 2015–2019, and winning the Swedish Championship seven times within eight years, from 2016 to 2024.

History

The team was formed in 2015, after a merger between Luleå HF and Munksund Skuthamn SK (MSSK). In October 2016, the club set an SDHL attendance record with 3,150 spectators for a match against Norrland rivals MODO Hockey.{{Cite web|last=Rönnkvist|first=Ronnie|date=2016-10-14|title=Landslagsstjärnan imponerad av publikrekordet: "Som en SHL-match"|url=https://hockeysverige.se/2016/10/14/landslagsstjarnan-imponerad-av-publikrekordet-som-en-shl-match|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-11-07|website=HockeySverige|language=sv}}

After winning the Swedish Championship in 2018, they played against that year's Isobel Cup winners, the Metropolitan Riveters of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL), in the first-ever Champions Cup of women's ice hockey.{{Cite web|last=Foster|first=Meredith|date=2018-04-02|title=Luleå HF Win SDHL Championship|url=https://www.theicegarden.com/2018/4/2/17184554/lulea-hf-win-sdhl-championship-sweden-linkoping-womens-hockey|access-date=2020-06-07|website=The Ice Garden|language=en}} Luleå won the match 4-2.{{Cite web|last=Oliver|first=Nathaniel|date=2018-10-01|title=5 Champions Cup Takeaways: Metropolitan Riveters vs Luleå HF/MSSK|url=https://thehockeywriters.com/5-champions-cup-takeaways-rivs-vs-lulea/|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-06-07|website=The Hockey Writers|language=en-US}} In November that year, the club again set a new record for SDHL attendance, with 6,220 spectators for a match against AIK IF.{{Cite web|last=Funqvis|first=Sixten|date=2018-11-16|title=Nytt publikrekord i SDHL|url=https://hockeysverige.se/2018/11/16/nytt-publikrekord-sdhl|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-11-07|website=HockeySverige|language=sv}}

In 2019, the club hired Mikael Forsberg to replace Fredrik Glader, who had served as head coach for the first four seasons of the club's existence.{{Cite web|last=Nilsson|first=Jonathan|date=2019-09-29|title="Man slår upp telefonboken och vill ringa pappa – men det går inte att nå honom"|url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/lAXBpy|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-06-07|website=Aftonbladet|language=sv}}
