History

Rovaniemen Santasport was founded in 2006 when volleyball teams Perungan Pojat and Napapiirin Palloketut combined. In its first season, the team became Finland league Champion. After that, the teams split up. Perungan Pojat became Santasport. In 2008 Santasport won the Championship again. Santasport won silver in the last season they played in Finnish volleyball league, the 2008–09 season. After that season, the club's name changed to Perungan Pojat once again.

Eventually they became Team Lakkapää.
