History

1948 to 1999

The club competed in the inaugural 1948 Polish speedway season, under the name of GKM Gdańsk.^[2]^[3] The following year the name changed to Związkowiec Gdańsk and competed until 1950. Speedway returned to Gdańsk in 1957 under the name of LPŻ Gdańsk (1957–1959) and Legia Gdańsk from 1960.

Legia won a silver medal in the Team Speedway Polish Championship in 1960 and their star rider Marian Kaiser also became the Polish champion after winning the Polish Individual Speedway Championship in 1960.^[4] Kaiser went on to win the Golden Helmet in 1962, when the club referred to itself as Wybrzeże Gdańsk.^[5]

The 1960s remained a positive era for the club and they won the bronze medal in 1965 and the silver medal in 1967 headed by riders such as Kaiser, Zbigniew Podlecki and Henryk Żyto.^[6]

The 1970s saw little team success but Zenon Plech was the Golden Helmet winner in 1978 and Polish champion in 1979.^[7]

The 1980s proved to be another quiet period, with the only significant honours being a team silver medal in 1985 and the Polish Pairs Speedway Championship (Zenon Plech and Grzegorz Dzikowski) in the same season. However, Zenon Plech won two more Polish titles in 1984 and 1985.^[8] The 1990s continued in the same manner with little success except winning the second division in 1993 and winning a bronze medal in 1999 after signing Tony Rickardsson and Sebastian Ułamek.

2000 to present

Gdansk were inaugural members of the Ekstraliga in 2000, but they suffered relegation to the 1. Liga that season, this was despite a bronze medal win the previous season.^[9] They bounced back by winning 1.Liga in 2001.^[10]

In 2005 club has closed. From 2006 to now, in polish team championship is riding new club - Wybrzeże Gdańsk. It continues tradition and history of previous club. ^[1]

Handball section was closed in 2002. New club was established in 2010 - Wybrzeże Gdańsk (handball).^[1]
