Lukko Naiset or Rauman Lukko Naiset ('Rauma's Lock Women') are an ice hockey team in the Naisten Mestis. They play in Rauma, a port city on the southwestern coast of Finland, at the Kivikylän Areena. Founded in 2011, the team gained promotion to the Naisten Liiga for the 2016–17 season and remained in the Liiga until being relegated at the conclusion of the 2020–21 season.[1]

History[]

Lukko Naiset are the representative women's ice hockey team of the ice hockey and ringette club Rauman Lukko ry, which also operates a number of junior and recreational teams. They have limited affiliation with Rauman Lukko Oy, which operates the men's Liiga team Lukko.

The team faced relegation four times in their five seasons in the Naisten Liiga but were able to save themselves in the qualification series until the 2020–21 season. Lukko never appeared in the Naisten Liiga playoffs.[2]
