Mikkelin Jukurit is an ice hockey team in the SM-liiga. They play in Mikkeli, Finland, at the Kalevankankaan jäähalli. The team has won 7 Mestis championships (2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2013, 2015, and 2016).
Mikkelin Jukurit was founded in 1970. The season of 1998-99 was a turning point for the team, when Matti Turunen became the executive director and Risto Dufva from Jyväskylä became head coach. In 1999–2000, they won their first championship in the newly established Suomi-sarja league, and returned to the Mestis after a 20-year break. When Jukurit had won a fourth championship in spring 2006, Risto Dufva left the team.
