Legia Warsaw is a Polish ice hockey team from Warsaw , which was founded in 1927. The ice hockey department belonging to the sports club of the same name plays in the second-class I league in the 2012/13 season .
history
Legia Warsaw's ice hockey division was established in 1927. The team's first major success was winning the Polish championship title in the 1932/33 season , when the Polish ice hockey association PZHL Legia named national champion together with Pogoń Lwów tied on points . In the period that followed, the team rarely took part in the Polish championship before dominating Polish ice hockey in the 1950s and 1960s, when Legia won twelve championship titles within 17 years. In the 1970s Legia could no longer build on these successes and rose twice to the I league , each followed by an immediate return to the Ekstraliga. After relegated in the 1980/81 season , the ice hockey department was temporarily dissolved due to financial problems. After more than two decades, it was reactivated in 2005 and has since played in the second-class I league.
