history
HK Kurbads was founded in 1996 as a pure hobby and amateur sports club for employees, partners and friends of the logistics company Kurbads . In the following years the club took part exclusively in amateur leagues and tournaments. In the mid-2000s, the club received the request to move up to the Latvian ice hockey league, but waived.
In 2013, the club joined the Latvian ice hockey league and then played its home games in the Vidzemes Ledus Hall in Ogre . In August 2017, the Kurbads ledus hall was opened, the club's new home ground.
In 2017 the club won the first championship title in club history and was able to repeat this success a year later.
