History

[edit]

Karhu HT's 2011–2012 season in the 2nd Division went well. KHT finished 1st in their division with 25 points and went to the Suomi-sarja qualification playoffs.[2] Karhu HT didn't succeed in getting promoted to Suomi-sarja though.[3]

Karhu HT got promoted to Suomi-sarja after the 2014–15 season.[4][5]

In its first Suomi-sarja season, Karhu HT finished third in the regular season, but got swept by JHT Kalajoki in the first round of the playoffs.[6] Karhu HT's goalie, Niklas Lehti, had the second best save percentage in the league, of the players who played at least a third of the games.

Karhu HT finished fifth in the 2020–21 regular season. KHT beat Haukat in the finals after two games. This was Karhu HT's first Suomi-sarja championship.[7] Karhu HT's player budget was estimated to be 35 000€ by Satakunnan Kansa.[5]

In 2022, Karhu HT gave up their spot in Suomi-sarja after they had gotten 0 points in 13 games.[8][9]
