After the communist coup d'état in 1948, the club was banned as a symbol of Western (capitalist) professional sports. In 1950, the communist government forbade the Czechoslovak national ice hockey team to go to the Ice Hockey World Championships in London. The players on the national team were tried in secret political trials, and they were sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment on trumped-up, nonsensical, charges.
