Hokejski Klub Slavija (English:Slavija Hockey Club), commonly referred to as HK Slavija or simply Slavija, and as HK Playboy Slavija[1] due to sponsorship reasons, was an ice hockey club from Ljubljana, Slovenia. The club was founded in 1964.
The club's roots go back to the 1950s, when a team by the name of HK Papirničar Vevče was established. It was named after the Vevce paper mill, and was initially made up of players who worked at the factory. They played in the Yugoslav Ice Hockey League during the 1952-53 season, finishing in ninth place. Vevce also took part in the league in 1954-55, taking sixth place. Their greatest success was achieved in the 1955-56 season, when the club defeated HK Jesenice 4-2 and HK Celje 3-1 to become Slovenian Republic champions. It was renamed HK Slavija in 1964.
The team folded in 2018 due to financial problems. The team played their home matches at the Zalog Ice Hall, a 1,000 capacity ice hall in Ljubljana.
