About club
HC Slovan Bratislava is one of the oldest and most traditional hockey clubs in Europe. It was founded as 1. ČsŠK Bratislava in December 1921. Slovan joined the top Czechoslovak hockey league at the end of World War II. Slovan was the first Slovak hockey club to win the championship of the Czechoslovak federal league, doing so in 1978/79. Slovan has also won the most titles in the independent Slovak league, winning nine times between 1998 and 2022. It remains the only Slovak club to play games against NHL teams: the Tampa Bay Lightning (2008) and New York Rangers (2011).
Throughout its over-100-year history, Slovan has been a regular supplier of top hockey players for Slovakia's national teams in all age categories, including the medal winners from the World Championships. Slovan plays its home games in the state-of-the-art Ondrej Nepela Arena, the primary venue of the IIHF 2011 and 2019 World Championships.
