RI Okna Berani Zlín


RI OKNA Berani Zlín is an ice hockey team in the Maxa Liga. Their home arena is Trinity Bank Arena Luďka Čajky in Zlín. They won the Extraliga in 2004 and 2014.
The ševci named for the famous Bata family who built their thriving company in Zlin in the early to mid 20th century, were automatically relegated from the 1st division in 2023 following an poor season which coincided with an automatic relegation rather than a playoff for the first time in the league.
Ševci are loved by their fans, who continue to support them whole-heartedly despite their relegation in the dubious circumstances.
A memorable win came for Zlin, playing away in a derby match against Brno in 2012 where after regular time ended in a 3 all draw, and overtime could not stilll separate the team, Ševci came away with a glorious win in the shootout.
Their heated rival and perennial punching bag, Vsetin, are regularly beaten comfortably with another big match billed for 2026.
