history
In 2010 the Belarusian Ice Hockey Association decided to set up a professional women's ice hockey team as part of the development project for Belarusian ice hockey - which will run until the 2014 men's ice hockey world championship - which will serve as the basis for the Belarusian national team. The first team meeting took place in August 2010 in a mountain village, where the team trained until the start of the season. In September 2010 it moved into its venue in the Raubitschy sports complex .
On June 10, 2010, the club received the game permit for the open Latvian women's championship, in which three Latvian and one Estonian teams had taken part. In August 2010, the club also received permission to take part in the men's amateur championship in the city of Minsk. The first official game of Pantera took place on October 16, 2010 on the RZOP Raubitschy ice rink - Pantera lost 2: 9 to the men's amateur team Atlant in the city championship . The game in the Latvian Open Championship began in November 2010 in the Estonian city of Kohtla-Järve , where HK Pantera Minsk defeated Viru Sputnik's team 12-1. The HK Pantera team at that time consisted partly of young players of the first generation of Belarusian female ice hockey players, and partly of Slovak and Latvian national players as well as some players with Russian-Belarusian dual citizenship.
At the end of the 2010/11 season, HK Pantera took first place in the Latvian championship with 16 wins from as many games and qualified for the European Women Champions Cup (EWCC).
In the 2011/12 season Pantera took part in a total of three championships, the Elite Women's Hockey League (EWHL), the IIHF European Women Champions Cup and the Latvian Open Championship. In the EWHL, Pantera finished third at the end of the 2011/12 season, the team finished second in Group B in the EWCC. In the following season , the club won the EWHL championship and came second in the EWHL Super Cup .
