Rovaniemen Kiekko (RoKi) Naiset is the women’s representative team of Rovaniemen Kiekko, an ice hockey club in Rovaniemi, Finland. RoKi gained promotion from the second-tier Naisten Mestis to the Lower Division (Finnish: Alempi jatkosarja) of the Naisten Liiga, the premier women’s ice hockey league in Finland, in December 2019. The team was founded in the late 1990s but did not enter club competition consistently until the 2012–13 season. They have played a portion of each subsequent season in the Naisten Mestis, with occasional demotion to the third-tier Naisten Suomi-sarja or promotion to the Naisten Liiga Qualifying series.
