History

edit

Gjøvik Hockey was founded in 1990, following the construction of the Gjøvik Olympic Cavern Hall for the 1994 Winter Olympics. The team had established itself on the second tier of Norwegian hockey, but was moved down to the third tier in 2011. In August 2016, Gjøvik Hockey was moved back up to the second tier following the withdrawal of Tønsberg Vikings from the league.[1]
