About BK Ume-Trixa
BK Ume-Trixa is a sports club that helps people play different sports. It was founded in 1981, which means it has been around for over 40 years! The club is based in Umeå, a city in northern Sweden.
From Bandy to Ice Hockey
When the club first started, it focused on playing bandy and rink bandy. Bandy is a winter sport played on ice, similar to ice hockey but with a ball instead of a puck. Rink bandy is a version of bandy played on a smaller ice rink.
Over time, the club changed its focus. Now, BK Ume-Trixa mainly runs a women's ice hockey team. This means they play ice hockey, a fast-paced sport where players use sticks to hit a puck into the opponent's net.
Women's Bandy Success
Even though they now play ice hockey, the club had a successful history in women's bandy. Their women's bandy team played for seven seasons in the top division of Swedish bandy. This shows they were one of the best teams in the country for many years!
