The HC Kosice is an established in 1962 Hockey Club of the city of Kosice in Slovakia . He plays in the Slovak extra league .
history
The club was founded in 1962 as an army club under the name TJ Dukla Košice . At that time there were already two ice hockey clubs in Košice, but they played relatively unsuccessfully at the regional level, while the new army sports club had access to the best players in Slovakia. Within two years Dukla rose to the top division of Czechoslovakia. In 1966 the association was renamed TJ VSŽ Košice ( Slovak: V ýchodo s lovenské ž eleziarne, German: East Slovak steelworks).
It was only twenty years later that the club was able to celebrate its first championship title when the team from Košice defeated another army club, Dukla Jihlava , in the play-off final in 1986 . Two years later, in 1988, this success could be repeated when HC Sparta Prague was beaten in the final. At that time, VSŽ Košice was one of the best teams in Europe behind CSKA Moscow , which dominated the European Cup , while VSŽ Košice took second place in 1987 and 1989.
After the division of the Czechoslovak Federation into two independent states, a separate Slovak league was founded in 1993, the Extraliga, to which the team from Košice has belonged ever since. Just two years after the founding of the league, the VSŽ Košice could become Slovak champions for the first time in 1995 by defeating HC Dukla Trenčín 3-0 in the play-off final. Both in 1996 and 1999, the club, renamed HC Košice in 1998, was able to achieve the Slovak championship again. In 1997 the club also won the IIHF Continental Cup . Since then, the club has reached the play-offs of the Extraliga every year and became Slovak runners-up in 2003 and 2008 .
In 2009, after 10 years, the club was able to bring another championship title to Eastern Slovakia, and the following year it won the championship again. At the end of the 2010/11 season , the club managed to win the third title in a row, making it the first Extraliga participant to do so. In addition, the U18 and U20 juniors of HC Košice won the respective junior championship titles. In 2014, the club was able to secure its seventh and in 2015 its eighth championship title. In the 2015/16 season Kosice failed in the semifinals against HC 05 Banská Bystrica , which they lost 2: 4 in 6 games. This was the first time since 2008 that the final could not be reached. Thanks to the 1st place in the regular season, the club managed to qualify for the Champions Hockey League , as in the last two seasons .

Home ground
In 1960, an outdoor ice rink was opened in Košice, named after Ladislav Troják (the first Slovak to play for the Czechoslovak national team). Since Dukla Košice was promoted to the top division of the CSSR at the end of the 1963/64 season, the ice rink was covered in the fall of 1964. The club played in this hall until 1996, before moving to the Lokomotíva Košice ice rink, as the Košický štadión L. Trojáka was to be rebuilt. It was not until ten years later, on February 24, 2006, that the converted ice rink was opened, which has since been named after the club's main sponsor, US Steel Košice . The first official game in the new arena took place a few days later against HKm Zvolen .
The 2011 men's ice hockey world championship took place in the Steel Aréna . In 2019 the men's ice hockey world championship will take place again in Slovakia. The venues are again Košice and Bratislava .
