[edit] History
[edit] Czechoslovak era
HC '05 was founded in 2005 but professional hockey in Banská Bystrica was playing long before. Previous club was established in 1922. The club was named Slávia but later changed name several times. In 1962 the club was named Iskra (Spark in English) and this name kept up until 2005. In interwar period and during the World War II club played Slovak League. The best placement was second in 1930, 1931 and 1934. They were members of first postwar Czechoslovak Extraliga season. In the 1945–46 season they finished 6th in Group A and were relegated from the Top level. Banská Bystrica returned to the Extraliga in the 1947–48 season but they finished 6th in Group A and were relegated again. This season was last at the Top level until the 1995–96 Slovak Extraliga season. Since 1963–64 Iskra played in the 1. SNHL (1st. Slovak National Hockey League), second level in Czechoslovak hockey. They were members all seasons of the 1. SNHL since its introduction in 1963 until dissolution of league in 1993. Iskra won the 1. SNHL in the 1968–69 season and were qualified to the preliminary round for the Czechoslovak Extraliga. They lost 5 of 6 games in the preliminary round against Škoda Plzeň, VŽKG Ostrava and Mladá Boleslav and did not promote to the Extraliga.

After dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the club was included to the Slovak 1.Liga, second level in Slovak hockey. In their first season they finished second. In the next season Iskra won the 1. Liga and promoted to the Slovak Extraliga. Iskra was placed ninth in the 1995–96 season and they had to play relegation round. Iskra saved the Extraliga for the 1996–97 season but this season was less lucky and they relegated from the Top level. They returned in the 1998–99 season but relegated again, 3 points missed them. In 2005 the club was transformed to incorporated company and renamed to HC '05. They promoted to the Extraliga in the 2007–08 season after victory in the playoffs finals against HK Spišská Nová Ves.
