History[edit]

HC Everest were founded in 2011,[2] and since 2013 have played, sporadically, in the Meistriliiga. Originally playing under the name of Everest Kohtla-Järve, the team changed their name to HC Everest Kohtla-Järve in 2020.[3]

In 2020 HC Everest took part in the inaugural Baltic Hockey League, a competition made up of two teams from each of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Narva PSK were originally slated to represent Estonia in the competition alongside Tartu Välk 494, however, Narva were unable to participate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequently HC Everest took their place.[4] They finished last in their group, losing to Lithuanian side Hockey Punks Vilnius and HK Liepāja of Latvia, as a result they did not progress to the final group.[5]
