The HK Liepājas Metalurgs was the 1998 founded ice hockey department of the SK Liepājas Metalurgs of the city of Liepāja (Libau) in Latvia , which played its home games in the Olimpiskā ledus hall .

history

From 1999 the club took part in the Latvian ice hockey league and was able to celebrate the Latvian championship seven times . Parallel to the game in the Latvian league, the club's first team also took part in the East European Hockey League between 1998 and 2004 . In the 2001/02 season, the HK Liepājas Metalurgs reached the championship of EEHL when they defeated HK Riga 2000 in five games 3-2 in the playoff final . After the dissolution of the EEHL in 2004, the two Latvian clubs were included in the open Belarusian championship .

Due to the closure of the Belarusian league, Liepājas Metalurgs belonged exclusively to Samsung premjerlīga , as the highest Latvian league since 2006 is called, between 2006 and 2008 . Since the closed Belarusian league became an open championship in the summer of 2008, the club has been taking part again. The club's second team will continue to play in the Latvian ice hockey league, while the first team will be seeded for the playoffs of the Latvian championship. The first team of HK Liepājas Metalurgs was temporarily coached by Vladimir Golubowitsch , who was also the head coach of the Ukrainian national team . In November 2012, the club got into financial problems after the bankruptcy of the main sponsor Metalurgs Liepājas and withdrew its teams from the Extraliga and the Molodjoschnaja Chokkeinaja Liga B before the 2013/14 season . As a result, games in the Latvian ice hockey league were also discontinued and the club was dissolved.

HK Liepāja was founded in 2014 as the successor association .
