On 8 April 2016 it was announced that the club had not fulfilled the requirements for elite licence and therefore was kicked out of Elitserien from the 2016/2017 season, with two weeks of possibility to appeal against the denial.[2] On 26 April 2016 it was announced that the appeal had been rejected by the Swedish Bandy Association.[3] Instead, IK Tellus took their place.[4]
