Slavia Praha Hockey Club, also known by its current name HC Slavia Praha, has a long and rich history going back to the early 20th century. The club was founded in 1900 as SK Slavia Praha. Since then it has gone through several phases of development and change, and has carried its current name since 1993.

Participation in the Czech top flight

From 1994 to 2015 Slavia Praha was a stable, regular participant in the Czech top hockey league. During this time the club showed its strength and determination, winning two championship titles. These years were the club's golden era, when the team became one of the most respected and successful in Czech hockey.

Founding of the Czech Ice Hockey Association

Slavia Praha also played a key role in founding the Czech Ice Hockey Association, the national body governing ice hockey competitions and national teams in the Czech Republic. This showed how important the club was for the development of hockey across the country, helping to spread and popularise the sport and to set standards and rules for hockey competitions.
