History
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 2020–21 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.
