HK Rapid (Ukrainian: XK Рапид) is a former ice hockey team based in Kyiv, Ukraine.[1]

History

[edit]

The club was formed in 2015, first by the name Generals Kyiv-2, as the team was planned to act as a farm team for Generals Kyiv. 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 only season (2015-16) of the club ended with a sixth place (out of eight teams) during the regular season. The team thereby missed the playoffs.[1]
