Шаблон:Infobox field hockey club

WKS Grunwald Poznań is a Polish field hockey club, a section of the wider multi-sports club, from Poznań. It is historically one of the most successful clubs in the country and regularly competes in European competitions.

History

Шаблон:Grunwald Poznań sections The section traces its roots to inter-war military club WKS Poznań, champions of Poland in 1935, 1936 and 1938.[1] However the courts have decided that these titles are not formally recognised as belonging to WKS Grunwald.[1]

The section was created in January 1952. At the turn of 1951/1952, the Board of the Union Sports Club Włókniarz Poznań (third place in the Polish Championships in 1950) made a proposal to the Board of the Garrison Military Sports Club (GWKS) Poznań to take over the field and ice hockey sections, which it itself was unable to maintain.[2] The management of GWKS agreed and the section was officially taken over.[1]

The team is one of the most successful teams of all time. Since the early 90s they were regulars in European competitions.[1] Domestically they dominated the 2010s adding several titles to their already large tally.[3][4][5] They also dominated the indoor championships in equal measure.[6][7][8]

The following decade also started with domination winning in 2020 and 2021.[9]
