History

First ice hockey games in Přerov were played shortly before First World War. First club in Přerov was founded in 1928. This club played its very first game in January of 1929 in Kroměříž against club from that town. Přerov won this game as well as their first home game against B-team of nearby Prostějov played four days later. In the early nineteen fifties Přerov hockey club has suffered big dip in quality because for long time it remained one of very few clubs without its own stadium. For few years the club even ceased to exist. It was only from 1953-54 season that Přerov had its own hockey club once again. And later in year 1971 local club under the name of Spartak Meopta Přerov finally had its official stadium. In modern history the club has mostly oscillated between second and third level Czech hockey leagues, but currently it seems to have a very solid position in Czech Republics' second highest ice hockey league called Chance liga (after the main sponsor of this league).
