history

Stoczniowiec Gdańsk was founded in 1970. In the Ekstraliga , the highest Polish league, the team took part for the first time in the 1976/77 season. In the following years Stoczniowiec was a regular participant of the Ekstraliga, but could not achieve any major successes in the league. In 2003, 2007 and 2008 the team from Gdansk was in the final of the Polish ice hockey cup , but had to admit defeat to the opponent in all three cases. At the European level, Stoczniowiec Gdańsk took part in the 2003/04 season as one of two Polish representatives in the IIHF Continental Cup . In this, however, the team was eliminated in the first round when they finished third of four places in Group E. The group opponents were HK Riga 2000 from Latvia , Kasachmys Karaganda from Kazakhstan and SC Energija Elektrėnai from Lithuania . In the 2004/05 season, the team took part in the one-time Baltic Ice Hockey Cup, which it won.

Before the 2011/12 season , the club withdrew its professional team for financial reasons from the game operations of the Ekstraliga and initially only had a youth department.

In 2014, a new ice hockey club was founded under the name MH Automatyka Stoczniowiec 2014 Gdańsk , which from 2014 took part in the second-class I league with one team .

Since 2017 Stoczniowiec has again provided a men's team in the I league.
