KHL Karlovac is a Croatian ice hockey team that is located in Karlovac. Its nickname is "Žapci".

History

It was formed in 1930, as HK Karlovac, being one of the oldest hockey clubs in Croatia. The strongest the club got was while it played in the Yugoslavian Hockey League. However, it remained in the top division for only a couple seasons. The club since then has had difficulties as teams in Zagreb and Belgrade took their best players. The lack of an indoor arena and short winters resulted in the club folding in the 1970s. However, in 2003 or 2004 the club was reformed. The club played in the Mariborska Hokejska Liga from 2008-2010. It also participated in the Croatian Inline Hockey League since its founding in 2008, under the name IHK Karlovac.

After 1949 HK Partizan obtained the best players of the club and it fell down to the weaker 2nd league.
