Mountfield HK (full name: Mountfield Hradec Králové, a.s.) is a Czech ice hockey club based in Hradci Králové in Královéhradecký kraj and since the season 2013/14 has been active in Extralize, the highest Czech ice hockey competition. The club colors are white, red, black and yellow. Partner clubs are SC Marimex Kolín and HC Příbram.

It plays its home matches in the winter stadium Hradec Králové (ČPP arena) under the White Tower with a capacity of 6,890 spectators.

History

Mountfield HK aligns itself with the history of Královští Lvi, a club formed in Hradec Králové in 1926 that operated a men's team until 2013. In the meantime, Mountfield a.s., a Czech-based home and garden retailer, owned and operated a hockey club in České Budějovice from 2006 to 2013.

Following the 2012–13 season, the Czech Extraliga reached a sponsorship deal with Radegast to sell its beer in all Extraliga arenas. This agreement conflicted with the naming rights deal České Budějovice already had with Budweiser Budvar Brewery for their arena. Under the agreement, the club and the city would face stiff penalties for selling any beer other than Budvar products. Unable to resolve the dispute, the club decided on 18 June 2013 that no agreement could be reached between the parties involved and voted to immediately relocate to Hradec Králové for the 2013–14 season.

Since then, Královští Lvi has been Mountfield HK's youth program, while Motor České Budějovice inherited Hradec Králové's spot in the Czech 1.liga.
