Djurgården primarily play their home games at Hovet, an older arena built in the 1950s with a capacity of 8,094, but high-profile matches such as derbies against AIK and playoff games may be played in Avicii Arena with its larger capacity of 13,850.

The procedure was repeated in 1924 and Djurgården had to wait until 1926 to finally lift the Le Mat trophy for the first time, after a 7–1 victory against Västerås IK.

The club was successful early on and four Djurgården players were named for the Swedish roster in the 1924 Winter Olympics.

At the 1926 Swedish Championship, the team contained three of those players, Wilhelm Arwe, Ernst Karlberg and Ruben Allinger.

High costs and low attendance figures took their toll on the hockey section, and the main club itself.

[4] The section was restarted in 1938 in the sixth division (Klass VI) and the team consisted of former players like Einar "Stor-Klas" Svensson and Gustaf "Lulle" Johansson.

For three consecutive seasons from the fifth division, Skuru IK was always ahead of Djurgården in the league table.

Djurgården would have to wait until 1947 to finally win a division again, only to be beaten by Atlas Diesel and Västerås SK in the promotion playoffs.

No Swedish championship was played this season due to warm weather, and the only available hockey rink at Stockholms Stadion could not suffice.

Instead of a single-elimination tournament with a total of eight teams, the winners of the south and north divisions met each other twice to decide the championship.

[12] The club's goal for the season was to stay clear of the relegation positions in the league table, which was accomplished.

The runner-up of the regular season, Linköping HC, chose Djurgården and knocked them out of the playoffs, 4–1 in games.

Subsequently, the team was relegated to the second-tier league HockeyAllsvenskan for the 2012–13 season after failing to make the top two spots in the Kvalserien.

As a result, Djurgården fired general manager Jan Järlefelt and replaced him by Charles Berglund.

The team reached fifth place in the regular season, and Djurgården had to play qualification games for the 2013 Kvalserien.

The team was renewed for the 2013–14 season, with veteran players Kristofer Ottosson, Jimmie Ölvestad, Fredrik Bremberg and Christian Eklund retiring.

[19] Despite a rough period in November with six straight losses, Djurgården finished the regular season on third place in the league table, which guaranteed a spot in the 2014 Kvalserien.

Djurgården managed to grab the spot with 17 points, the same number as Rögle but with better goal difference due to a 6–2 win against Västerås IK in the final game of the season.

The Swedish Hockey League board stirred up a controversy with the decision to redistribute 6 million SEK of TV sponsorship from Djurgården to newly relegated rival club AIK IF in May 2014.

Top Scorer: Points (Goals+Assists) Updated 6 March 2023[21][22] [23] Djurgården has honoured a total of nine player numbers.

The number 16 worn by Nichlas Falk, who played a total of 16 seasons and 751 games with Djurgården between 1995 and 2011.

[30] Forward Sven "Tumba" Johansson was inducted the same year, and represented team Sweden in four Olympic Games and 14 IIHF World Championships.

[31] Defenceman Lars Björn was inducted in 1998, representing Sweden in three Olympic Games and 9 World Championships.

Defenceman Roland Stoltz was inducted in 1999, representing team Sweden in three Olympic Games and 12 World Championships.
