History

Frisk is one of the oldest ice hockey clubs in Norway dating back to 1935. For most of the early years the club did alright, playing mostly in the lower regional leagues. In 1968 the club was set for a great new era. Farmer Bjørn Mortensen wished to give something back to the community by building an indoor ice rink in Asker. Asker is a municipality in the county of Akershus, Norway and a Suburb of Oslo. It was the first of its kind in the Oslo area, and gave the club a tremendous lift. (called Christiania from 1624 to 1878 and Kristiania from 1878 to 1924 is the Capital and largest city of Norway.

Askerhallen was opened on August 31. Askerhallen is an indoor sporting arena located in Asker, Norway. 1969, and led to a series of events that would bring Frisk to the pinnacle of Norwegian Ice Hockey in only a few years. In Asker the facilities was first class, but playing material scarce. In Oslo, a club called Tigrene, had the exact opposite problems, so the two clubs decided to merge. Frisk immediately rose to become one of the top teams in the league.

In May 1972 disaster struck, as the Askerhallen was badly damaged in a fire. Askerhallen is an indoor sporting arena located in Asker, Norway. Mortensen however wished to continue his commitment, and have the arena rebuilt. The new Askerhallen was opened in 1973. Askerhallen is an indoor sporting arena located in Asker, Norway.

The seventies proved to be the most successful years for Frisk. Winning the Norwegian championships in 1975 and 1979.

Through the eighties Frisk stayed in the top flight, and excelled at producing talented hockeyplayeres. Led by inspirational coach Barry Smith they made a new appearance in the play off finals in 1986. Barry Smith is the name of Barry Smith (ontologist (born 1952 an ontologist at the University at Buffalo The State University of New York Barry On the most however they failed to make any real impact and economical problems led the club into recession and finally relegation in the mid nineties. A merger with local club Holmen, under the name of Asker Hockey proved unsuccessful and in 1995 Frisk was back in the top league on their own feet.

It was to be the dawning of a new great era in the clubs history. With local backing and gaining popularity the club went into the new millennium as one of the best teams in the league. In 2002 Frisk could finally celebrate their third Norwegian championship, after beating the Storhamar Dragons in a very exciting final. The Storhamar Dragons are an Ice hockey club based in Hamar, Norway and playing in the GET-ligaen.

After having accomplished the mission, Frisk did not manage to rebuild the same drive, and for the next few seasons results slowly deteriorated. Still having one of the best youth academies in Norwegian hockey Frisk work hard to rejoin the uppermost echelons with limited resources.

As of desember 2007, Frisk has, against all odds, grabbed on to a desent position in the very top of the GET-liga. To be able to keep their position for the rest of the season, Frisk will be depending on keeping their Canadian super player Abbott-twins and Norwegian coming superstar Mats Zuccarello Aasen off the injury list.

In a game against Sparta Warriors earlier this fall, both of the Abbott-twins where ejected from the game with game misconduct penalties, and with Mats Zuccarello Aasen unavailable due to an injury and the Abbotts in the shower, they didn't stand a chance against Sparta, and was swept of the ice by Norway's greatest home ice team, and they're dependency on such star players to be a topteam was cleary shown.
