HK Martin was a Slovak ice hockey club that last played in the Slovenská hokejová liga, the second tier of hockey in the country.
In its 6 years of existence, the club’s most successful season was in 2018/19, when it finished runners up in the Slovenská hokejová liga, losing to Dukla Michalovce in the final match of the play offs.[1] In 2023, the club was dissolved.
History
HK Martin was formed when the MHC Martin club, which operated in the top league for many years, was kicked out after a financial collapse before the 2017/18 season.[2][3] With the support of the city of Martin, a new men's senior club was established, which in the 2017/18 season operated under the 2nd league.[4] In the club’s first season, they won promotion to the 1st league as a undefeated finalist.
The won license to start in the competition was subsequently transferred to the newly established HK Martin club.[5] The team for the 1st league was composed mainly of Martin's youth academy graduates.[6] In the club’s first season, HK Martin finished second in the regular season behind Dukla Michalovce, and the two teams squared off in the play-off final, with Michalovce winning 4–3 on aggregate.[7][8] HK Martin thus took second place overall in the competition.
In 2023, due to financial reasons, HK Martin would be dissolved, selling their first league license to HC Prešov.[9][10][11]
