Karvina played in the third-level Czech 2.liga from 1993 to 1996 and earned a spot in the second-tier Czech 1.liga for 1996-97. However, they were relegated from the league after only one season.

In 1999, the club sold its 2.liga license to HC Kroměříž. In the 2006-07 season the club managed to advance to the 2.liga, but a year later they descended back to the Regional Championship.

On June 18, 2011, the club received a license from the adjacent 2.liga team HC Plus Oil Orlova. The club was replaced by a new team when HC Plus Oil Karviná joined the league. Karvina's men's team then disappeared for a year.

In 2012-13, the club returned to the regional championship. They earned a spot in the 2.liga for 2014-15 when the Eastern group of the league expanded to 12 teams.
