The club was originally started as HC Gottéron by the citizens of the town of Auge in 1938. They competed on an outdoor rink, most notably at Les Augustins, until 1982 when Patinoire St-Léonard was constructed.
In 1980, the name HC Fribourg-Gottéron was adopted upon promotion into National League A. In spite of the club's financial struggles for the better part of their existence in the NLA, they managed to reach the league's championship finals three years in a row (1992-94), but have never won a championship in their long history.
The team was saved from bankruptcy in 2006
