HK Rapid (Ukrainian: XK Рапид) is an ice hockey team based in Kiev, Ukraine.[1]
History
The club was formed in 2015, first by the name Generals Kiev-2, as the team was planned to act as a farm team for Generals Kiev. The company Prag Car (official dealer of Škoda in Ukraine) won a tender for the right to name the team, giving the name HK Rapid to the team.[2]
The first season (2015-16) of the club, they ended at the sixth place (out of eight teams) during the regular season, and thereby missed the playoffs.[1]
