Free browser theme featuring HC Presov.
HC Presov is an ice hockey team playing in the Slovak Extraliga, and formed in 2021, after HC Presov Penguins announced the dissolvation of their club. They play in the city of Presov, Slovakia.
The newly established hockey club HC 21 Presov replaced HC 07 Detva in Slovak Extraliga from the season 2021–22. Ernest Bokros was the head coach and the basic team should be made up of players from Detva. The final point for moving the Detvian club to Presov gave the Slovak Ice Hockey Federation, but it was only a formality.
The owner of the Detvian club, Robert Luptak, decided to move the Extraliga license to Presov. Not only he moves from Detva to Presov, but also several other players, including forward Jan Sykora. The first captain of the team was Marek Zagrapan from Presov, who came from HK Poprad. Zagrapan was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the first round, 13th overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
