HC布拉迪斯拉發

HC Bratislava was established in 2015 in response to the lack of a Bratislava senior team in Slovak competitions. In its first season in the second division, it finished 12th out of 16 teams. In the 2016/17 season, the club found a stable home in Vladimír Dzurilla Arena in Ružinov. The club stabilized, established itself in the second hockey league and finished fourth out of 20 teams. In 2019/20, the club went through a complete rebranding, changing its name to the Bratislava Capitals. That season, the team started playing its home games at Ondrej Nepela Arena, also known as Slovnaft Arena.

After the 2019–20 season, the Capitals were accepted to play in the Austrian-based bet-at-home ICE Hockey League (formerly the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga) on 24 April 2020 beginning in the 2020/21 season.

On October 30, 2021, player Boris Sádecký collapsed during a game, reportedly due to cardiac arrest, and died three days later. On November 5, the team's general manager Dušan Pašek was found dead from suicide. Following the incidents, the club suspended its season after 14 games, but announced its return for the 2022/23 season on May 16, 2022.
