History
editThe club was founded on March 3, 1992[1]. The foundation was the result of a long going project where handball clubs in Drammen and Lier gathered to discuss how to build a "Top Team" candidate for the region. The project resulted in two clubs joining forces - Reistad IL from Lier and IF Sturla from Drammen. The two clubs transferred their senior players to the new club, but continued as separate entities concentrating on development of children and youngsters. The colors of Drammen HK became blue - the same color as background of the city coat of arms. Reistad IL was qualified to play in Norway Premier Division, so Drammen really got a flying start starting at the top level. However, Drammen did not make it through and was degraded to the Second Division the year after. However, In 1993 Drammen HK signed the Swedish trainer Kent-Harry Andersson, and returned to the Premier Division after one year. This was the beginning of a series of successes that was crowned in 1996, bringing home the EHF City Cup as the first Norwegian club ever to win a European title. In 1997, the team won the silver medal at the first club world championship, after losing 30-29 to the Spanish team Caja Cantabria in the final[2]. In 2007, the team again reached the finals of European Cup Series No. 3 (Challenge Cup (EHF City Cup), but lost there against the Romanian CS UCM Reșița team. During its history, it won 4 Norwegian League (1997, 2007, 2008, 2010), 2 Norwegian Cup (2008, 2017). Some of the best Norway international players started their senior careers at Drammen HK, such as Glenn Solberg, Frode Hagen and Kristian Kjelling.
