Brynäs IF Dam are an ice hockey team in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). They play in Gävle, on the eastern-central coast of Sweden, at the Monitor ERP Arena. A constituent part of the Swedish sports club Brynäs IF, they are the sister team of Brynäs IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

History[]

Between 2010 and 2013, the club advanced to the Riksserien playoff finals four seasons in a row, finishing in second place each time. In 2014, the club unveiled new jerseys, the only ones in Europe to be completely ad-free.[1]

Between 2013 and 2019, the club saw its fortunes decline dramatically, and in 2017, head coach left the club to coach Linköping instead.[2]

After the 2017–18 season saw Brynäs finish in 8th place amid numerous complaints surrounding the treatment of players, the club launched a significant rebuild, firing head coach , increasing investment into development programmes, and signing star forward Erika Grahm on a player-coach contract with the intention of training her to be the organisation's future Sports Manager.[3]

After making a number of major signings, including Lara Stalder, Michela Cava, and Kateřina Mrázová, improved to 3rd in the league during the 2019–20 SDHL season, and advanced to the semi-finals for the first time in seven years. In January 2020, the club announced a cooperation with the municipality to create a local sports education centre, allowing young girls to specialise in hockey education during high school.[4] After the end of the season, Stalder would be the first women to be awarded the Guldhjälmen as the SDHL's most valuable player.[5]

The team began the 2020–21 SDHL season with a seven-game winning streak, the last team in the league to remain undefeated until a 5–3 loss to Linköping HC.[6][7]
