KalPa's time in SM-liiga was broken by a six-year period in the lower leagues. KalPa played in SM-liiga from 1986 to 1999, before it was relegated.

The 1990s were a difficult time for KalPa with bad results on the ice and financially. At the end of the 1998-1999 season KalPa lost the qualifying series against Pelicans and was relegated. The team tried to return to the top level quick, which only led to more financial issues and the club's second bankruptcy of the decade.

KalPa eventually returned to SM-liiga after the 2004-2005 season. The NHL lockout allowed the reigning Mestis champions to strengthen their team with the likes of Sami Kapanen, Kimmo Timonen and Adam Hall. The team won 36 of its 44 regular season games and was unbeaten in the playoffs. Since its promotion KalPa has regularily finished the regular season in the top-half of the table.

KalPa is currently run by KalPa Hockey Oy, a limited company. Kapanen is the majority owner, Timonen is another major shareholder. 5% of the company is owned by Scott Hartnell.
