history

HC Viking Tallinn was founded in July 2014 as the successor club to Tallinn Viiking Sport , which had gone bankrupt due to a high debt burden. Shortly before the start of the season, the new club agreed to take on part of the debt burden with the association and received the game permit for the Meistriliiga . The club was not only the sporting, but also the legal successor to its predecessor.

As the debt was not fully repaid, HC Viking was excluded from the Meistriliiga playoffs in March 2015. In the 2015/16 season, as a result of the dispute with the association, HC Viking was not allowed to play games at home or abroad. The dispute was only settled in the summer of 2016 after the club had paid off EUR 12,000 in debt to the association. Then the HC Viking was allowed to play again.
