HC Bohemians Praha
The HC Bohemians Praha are an ice hockey team situated in Prague, Czech Republic. They currently play in the Czech Regional Championships (also known as the Krajský přebor), the fourth level of hockey in the country.
The club's history dates back to 1907, when the first press mention of the hockey section of AFK Vršovice was made. In 1916, the ice hockey section was formally created.
In 1929 the club registered with the Czechoslovak Hockey Union, and joined the Prague region of the Czechoslovak Championship. They fell to LTC Praha 25-1 in one of their games.
After their initial participation in the championship, the Bohemians did not return again until 1933-34, when they joined the Class III of the Prague Championship. They remained in the lower levels in 1935 and 1936.
The club has since played primarily in the lower (regional) levels of Czech hockey. However, they did enjoy a three-year stint in the second-level Czechoslovak 2. Liga from 1964 to 1967, and in the third-level Czech 2.liga from 1993 to 1996.
