The HK Poprad club was established in 1930 and first won its first title in 1933. By 2015, however, HK Poprad was in very poor financial condition and was saved from going under by Jan Telensky. Having transformed the club, it now plays in the 1st league and is attacking the top positions. Now, many of the HK Poprad players play for the Slovakian national team.
