History

The newborn club was founded in 2007, when HF Mors and Thisted IK merged their first teams to create the new club. Thisted IK has roots back from 1904. The team played in the Danish Top League already in their first season, as they continued on HF Mors' license, and they had secured promotion from the Danish 1st Division the season prior. HF Mors had played in the top league in the 2005-06 season.

In the first seasons they were among the relegation candidates, but in the 2012-13 season they qualified for the Championship playoff for the first time. Here they managed to reach the semifinals, where they lost to Aalborg Håndbold. They then lost the third-place playoff to Skjern Håndbold, but it was enough to qualify for the EHF Cup, marking their first European qualification. In the 2013-14 EHF Cup they reached the 3rd round, where they were knocked out by Romanian HCM Constanța.

In 2021 they won their first title; the Danish Men's Handball Cup, beating Aalborg Håndbold in the final 32-31.
