Sparta's great successes were reached in the years following World War II as it won two national titles in a row (1952/53 and 1953/54) under the name Spartak Sokolovo.

The next highly successful period came much more recently when Sparta won the national league in 1989/90 and again in 1992/93.

Another recent achievement (along with two third-place finishes in 1995/96 and 1996/97) was Sparta's participation in the final group of the European League (EHL) in 1996/97.

After a few unsuccessful years, Sparta returned to the top of the Czech Extraliga in 1999/00 when they were crowned league champions.

HC Sparta Praha has regularly been one of the best teams in the Czech Extraliga, making the playoffs almost every year.
