Wikipedia - HC Vita Hästen
HC Vita Hästen is a Swedish hockey club, based in Norrköping, which was founded following the bankruptcy of a previous club called IK Vita Hästen. The team plays in HockeyTrean, the fifth tier of the Swedish ice hockey system, as of the 2023–24 season.
The current team was founded as Norrköping Hockey immediately following the bankruptcy of the previous club. Norrköping Hockey soon merged with Skärblacka IF to form NSH-96, which soon thereafter took the name Hästen Hockey. Years later, in 2007, the club retook the name "Vita Hästen", but were required by the league to use "HC Vita Hästen" rather than "IK Vita Hästen" to avoid confusion with the first incarnation of "Vita Hästen". The name "Vita Hästen" literally translates to "[The] White Horse".
The previous club, IK Vita Hästen, was a merger in 1967 of the ice hockey sections of rivaling teams IFK Norrköping and IK Sleipner. The merged club was formally called "IF IFK/IKS" but mostly referred to simply as "Norrköping" in the league tables in newspapers and such. However, since IFK Norrköping played in white jerseys and Sleipner was the name of a horse (Norse god Odin's horse), the team soon got the nickname "vita hästen", i e "the white horse". By 1973, this name was so commonly used that it was chosen as the actual club name.
Former Detroit Redwings Defensemen Jonathan Ericsson played a season for HC Vita Hasten in the 2001-2002 season.
The team's home arena is the Himmelstalundshallen, which has a seating capacity of 4,000 spectators. The team's colors are black and white, and their logo features a horse's head.
HC Vita Hästen has a strong fan base and is known for their passionate supporters who create a lively atmosphere at their home games. The team has a reputation for playing an aggressive and physical style of hockey, which has earned them a loyal following.
Over the years, HC Vita Hästen has produced many talented players who have gone on to play in the Swedish Hockey League and even in the National Hockey League. The team has also won several championships, including the Division 1 championship in 2012 and the HockeyAllsvenskan championship in 2018.
Overall, HC Vita Hästen is a respected and successful ice hockey team with a rich history and a bright future ahead.
