For the men’s Liiga team, see Lukko.

Lukko Naiset or Rauman Lukko Naiset (lit. ‘Rauma’s Lock Women’) are an ice hockey team in the Naisten Liiga (NSML). They are based in Rauma, a port city in Satakunta on the southwestern coast of Finland, and play at the Eurajoen jäähalli in Eurajoki.

Founded in 2011, the team gained promotion to the Naisten Liiga for the 2016–17 season and remained in the Liiga until being relegated at the conclusion of the 2020–21 season.[1] They achieved promotion in the 2021–22 NSML qualification series and returned to the league after one season in the Naisten Mestis.

History[edit]

Lukko Naiset are the representative women’s ice hockey team of the ice hockey and ringette club Rauman Lukko ry, which also operates a number of junior and recreational teams. They have limited affiliation with Rauman Lukko Oy, which operates the men’s Liiga team Lukko.

The team faced relegation four times in their first five seasons in the Naisten Liiga but were able to save themselves in the qualification series each time, until finally being relegated in the 2020–21 season. As of the 2022–23 season, Lukko has never appeared in the Naisten Liiga playoffs.[2]

After starting the 2021–22 season in the Naisten Mestis, Lukko earned placement in the Alempi jatkosarja (‘Lower division’) of the 2021–22 Naisten Liiga season. In the 2022 post-season qualification series, they successfully saved themselves from relegation and have since maintained their place in the Naisten Liiga.[3]
