history
From 1913 bandy was played in the SK České Budějovice , and after the First World War also in other sports clubs in the city. In December 1921, the first game in the so-called Canadian ice hockey took place, with the SK being subject to the Strakonice team . A week later, the club won the first ice hockey game played in Budweis against SK Písek . In 1928 Viktoria České Budějovice and Slovan České Budějovice merged to form the AC Stadion České Budějovice . This club was a founding member of the Czechoslovak ice hockey league in 1936/37 .
In the 1st division (1936-2013)
After 1948, the AC Stadion České Budějovice was renamed numerous times: 1948/49 in Sokol Stadion České Budějovice, 1949 in ZSJ Obchodní domy České Budějovice, 1950 in SKP České Budějovice. In the 1950/51 season, the Budweis club celebrated the only championship title in the club's history. Before the new season the club was renamed Slavoj České Budějovice. This name lasted until October 1965, when the club came under the auspices of the state-owned Motor company . Motor was runner-up behind TJ Vítkovice in 1980/81 . The championship title was prevented by the point rule that was valid at the time, according to which there were no points for a draw . In 1994/95 the club, now renamed HC České Budějovice, came third in the extra league.
In 2004 the club was relegated to the first division after the team had only occupied 14th place in the 2003/04 season. A year later, the club reached the championship of the first division and secured a 4-1 win against HC Dukla Jihlava to return to the extra league .
In 2006 we started working with the main sponsor Mountfield , a Czech gardening goods retailer. From this point on, the club played under the name HC Mountfield České Budějovice , in the course of the renaming, the club logo and the club colors were changed. By winning the main round of the 2007/08 season , HC Mountfield was eligible to play in the newly founded Champions Hockey League and played in a group with Russian champions Salawat Julajew Ufa and Slovak champions HC Slovan Bratislava .
Sale of the license (2013)
In the course of the 2012/13 season , the Extraliga agreed on a sponsorship contract with the Radegast brewery, which received exclusive serving permits in all stadiums of the league from the following season. This contract collided with the contract between the city of Budweis and the Budweiser Budvar Brewery regarding the naming and serving rights of the Budvar Aréna , which provides for high penalties for serving a different beer brand than Budweiser in the arena. After no agreement could be reached between the conflicting parties, the Extraliga license (including the current player and employee contracts) was sold to a new operating company from Hradec Králové . A few days later it became known that the parent club HC České Budějovice had taken over the 1st league license of HC VCES Hradec Králové .
