Storhamar Idrettslag is a Norwegian multi-sports club based inHamar. It has sections forice hockey,team handball,association football andfigure skating.
It was founded in 1935 asStorhamar AIL, a workers' sports club which was a member ofArbeidernes Idrettsforbund.[1] The Storhamar area was located inVang Municipality until 1946 when it was annexed intoHamar Municipality to accommodate the growing city of Hamar.[2] It was one of four significant clubs in the districts before 1940, and because of their status as a local club, and certain ties to theCommunist Party, it declined to merge into a catch-all club after 1945. Fellow workers' sports clubHamar AIL did merge, to form part ofHamarkameratene.[2]
The men's football team currently plays in the Fourth Division, the fifth tier of Norwegian football.
