HC Dynamo Pardubice

HC Dynamo Pardubice is a professional ice hockey club that plays in the Czech Extraliga.

The offensive trio consisting of Bohuslav Šťastný, Jiří Novák and Vladimír Martinec rose to stardom in the Extra League.

The offensive trio of Vladimír Martinec, Jiří Novák and Bohuslav Šťastný won another world championship title.

Vladimír Martinec led the Extra League with 28 assists in 1976, 42 goals in 1979, and won the Golden Hockey Stick three times.

New team members included goaltender Dominik Hašek, defender František Musil, and forwards Otakar Janecký and Jiří Šejba.

Musil and Šejba won the world championship in Prague in 1985, while playing for the army team Dukla Jihlava.

After that František Musil went to the NHL, and Jiří Šejba returned to Tesla Pardubice, where he helped the team win championships in 1986-1987 and 1988-1989.

HC Pardubice entered the 1993-1994 season with a strong mixture of experienced and young players, including goaltender Radovan Biegl, who quickly became one of the best in the league.

The solid finish wasn't to be repeated, as the team slipped to the bottom of the standings and had to defend its place in the Extra League in 1996.

In the following season the team received a new young coach, Miloš Říha, and Pardubice started to improve their performance.

Though team success was elusive, various individual players had significant achievements, such as Petr Sýkora who led the league with 26 goals in 2001.

As a result, Pardubice had to wait for its fourth championship title until 2005, when they won thanks to the leadership of captain Jiří Dopita, and the performance of Slovakian goaltender Ján Lašák.

Most notable are Josef Paleček, Vladimír Martinec, Bohuslav Šťastný, Otakar Janecký, Jiří Šejba, František Musil, Michal Sýkora, Ladislav Lubina, Aleš Hemský, Milan Hejduk and Dominik Hašek.
