They play their home games in the Versowood Areena, which has a capacity of 2,975 (with 1,500 seated).

In the finals, HeKi still had to face a loss to the Seinäjoki Hockey Team.

In the 2005–06 season, HeKi won the Suomi-sarja championship and also the Mestis qualifiers, beating Kokkolan Hermes, among others.

In April 2011, the operation of HeKi's representative team was incorporated as Heinola Edustuskiekon Tuki Oy, and at the same time, the name Heinolan Peliitat, considered nostalgic in the city, was taken to use again.

Peliitat later went bankrupt[3] and did not receive a Mestis license for the 2023–24 season and thus got relegated down two tiers into the 2.
