main
Orli Znojmo (in English Znojmo Eagles) is a Czech-based ice hockey team that currently plays in the Czech 2.liga. The club is based in Znojmo and their home arena is Nevoga Arena.
The team was founded in 1933 originally as TJ Sokol Znojmo and played until the early 1990s, at only a regional level
From 1999 to 2009, the club competed in the Czech Extraliga. Their biggest success in that league was a third-place finish in 2005-06. On April 1, 2009, Orli sold its Czech Extraliga license to another South Moravian club, HC Kometa Brno.
After two seasons in the Czech 1.liga, the club announced on May 31, 2011 that they were joining the Austrian-based Austrian Hockey League.[2]
Following the 2021–22 season, the club announced they would compete in the 2nd Czech Republic Hockey League next season, having bought the licence of HC Kometa Brno B. They left the Austrian Hockey League owing to economic reasons and the uncertain continuation of the league.[3]
