HC Fribourg-Gottéron is a professional ice hockey team based in Fribourg, Switzerland, which competes in the National League A (NLA). The team is the sixth most attended team in Switzerland for the 2015/16 season with 6,156 spectators.
The club was originally started as HC Gottéron by the citizens of the town of Auge in 1938. They competed on an outdoor rink, most notably at Les Augustins, until 1982 when Patinoire St-Léonard was constructed.
In 1980, the name HC Fribourg-Gottéron was adopted upon promotion into National League A. In spite of the club's financial struggles for the better part of their existence in the NLA, they managed to reach the league's championship finals three years in a row (1992–94), but have never won a championship in their long history.
The team was saved from bankruptcy in 2006.
The team has never won a NLA Championship .
