History
"Krenholm" from Narva was one of the most decorated hockey clubs in Estonia. It first became champion in 1967. Before the collapse of the USSR, it was champion 8 times. It became champion 8 more times during the years of independence.
Due to financial problems, the club was disbanded in 2010, but in 2011 it was recreated as "Narva PSK".
In February 2016, it became champion of Estonia ahead of schedule. In March 2017, the team won gold medals again and in the autumn of the same year, they competed in the 2017–18 IIHF Continental Cup, where they were in the same group as HC Donbass of Ukraine, Polish side GKS Tychy and Latvian outfit HK Kurbads, but failed to pass the second round of qualification, finishing fourth in the group[2].
Narva PSK were originally scheduled to be part of the inaugural Baltic Hockey League, however they were unable to participate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequently HC Everest took their place.[3][4]
In 2024, seven years later, the Narva hockey players were able to win the Estonian championship[5] and will again represent the country in the 2024-25 IIHF Continental Cup in Group B, the games of which will be held in Narva[6].
