Mountfield Hokejový Klub are a professional men's ice hockey club based in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. They are members of the Czech Extraliga. They formed after the original HC Mountfield was unable to resolve a sponsorship dispute.
Mountfield HK originated with a club that began playing hockey in 1926.
Following the 2012–13 season, the Czech Extraliga reached a sponsorship deal with Radegast to sell its beer in all Extraliga arenas. This agreement conflicted with the naming rights deal České Budějovice already had with Budweiser Budvar Brewery for their arena. Under the agreement, the club and the city would face stiff penalties for selling any beer other than Budvar products. Unable to resolve the dispute, the club decided on June 18, 2013 that no agreement could be reached between the parties involved and voted to immediately relocate to Hradec Králové for the 2013–14 season.
