Hockey Club Gdańsk (Polish: Klub Hokejowy Gdańsk S.A.) and known as KH Gdańsk was a professional ice hockey team in Gdańsk, Poland. The team formerly played in the Polish 1. Liga, the second level of ice hockey in Poland.

History[edit]

The company that owned KH Gdańsk was set up on 6 May 2010, but did not organise a team until 2012.[1] KH Gdańsk, the ice hockey team, were formed in March 2012 after agreeing to take over the debts of Stoczniowiec Gdańsk, who as a result of these financial difficulties had to dissolve after the 2011–12 season.[2][3] The club played in the 2012–13 1. Liga, finishing 6th out of 7 clubs. At the end of the season the shares of KH Gdańsk were transferred to Stoczniowiec, leading to the reactivation of Stoczniowiec and the folding of KH Gdańsk.
