AIK Bandy is the bandy team of a big sports club called Allmänna Idrottsklubben, often just called AIK. They are currently located in Solna, a town near Stockholm, Sweden. Bandy is a winter sport played on ice, a bit like ice hockey but with a ball instead of a puck, and bigger fields. A famous person named Lennart Johansson, who later became very important in European football, started his career as a leader here at AIK Bandy.

AIK Men's Bandy Team

The men's bandy team at AIK started playing in 1905. They quickly became very good!

In the early days of Swedish bandy, AIK was a top team. In the 1930-31 season, which was the first year Sweden had a proper bandy league, AIK played in Division 1 Norra. They finished first in their group! AIK then won the championship final against IF Göta with a score of 4–3. This made them Swedish Champions!

AIK used to play at Spånga Idrottspark. Since 2007, they play at Bergshamra IP. Even though they haven't been as successful in bandy lately as they are in ice hockey and football, they are still a strong team. They even got promoted to Elitserien, the top league, for the 2019-20 season.
