2014–15 HC Slovan Bratislava season

The 2014–15 HC Slovan Bratislava season has been the 3rd season for Bratislava based club in Kontinental Hockey League. Slovan started the season with a series of three wins, which was the best start since Slovan joined KHL. Then, after a series of three games without a win the head coach Rostislav Čada asked for release from his contract, which was accepted by Slovan's executives.[1] In the following home game against CSKA Moscow the team was led by Vladimír Országh, former assistant coach.[2] On September 23 it was announced that a Finnish coach Petri Matikainen would lead Slovan until the end of this season.[3]
