Podhale Nowy Targ is undergoing administrative and roster restructuring ahead of the 2026/2027 TAURON Hockey League season.

Initially, the club faced leadership instability after two presidential candidates resigned. To address this, the city appointed lawyer and former player Artur Pustówka as a proxy while resuming recruitment for a permanent president. The club also worked to finalize licensing with the Polish Ice Hockey Federation (PZHL), a process contingent upon the activation of the company’s bank account to pay required fees.

Following these administrative developments, the club shifted focus toward sporting preparations. With Andrzej Świstak appointed as coach, the team began building its roster. Due to budget constraints, the club is prioritizing experienced players to complement its previous I liga championship-winning core, specifically targeting reinforcements such as Swedish goalkeeper Anton Svensson and veteran Polish defender Maciej Kruczek.
