Our Club

The history of our club

Our current club has its origins in 1975 when – for the first time ever in the Kortrijk region – an ice hockey club was founded under the euphonious name “The Ice Choppers”. Shortly after its foundation, the club’s name was changed to “The Jets Gullegem”. In the 1990s – a few years after its foundation – the club immediately achieved some successes in the competitions in which it entered.

The beginning of a new chapter in the history of Icehockey in West-Flanders

The move from Gullegem to Kortrijk in 2019 resulted in a new name, HC Kortrijk Spurs. Not only the name of the club was changed, but also the management and functioning of the club was completely renewed. The new team is full of ambition to play a significant role in the Belgian ice hockey competition with the youth and the first team.
