EC Red Bull Salzburg

Eisarena Salzburg

The history of ice hockey in Salzburg at the highest level dates back to 1977/1978, when the then HCS took a sensational third place in the first division
This helped to increase the popularity of Salzburg ice hockey massively, and December 1977 saw the ice rink sold out for the first time. Ten years later in 1988, the Salzburg ice hockey club, now known as SEC, were once again on course for the title.
After a strong season which included spell at the top in the preliminary round standings, Salzburg failed to take its first Bundesliga championship, and its ailing economic situation eventually saw the relegation of SEC from the first division. The EC Salzburg was founded in 1995 by the merger of the two small clubs Morzg EC and EC Tiefenbach. Shortly after the foundation the company Kaindl become the first main sponsor and changed the club name in EC Kaindl Salzburg
The more recent history of the Salzburg ice hockey club began in 2000 with the return of Red Bull as sponsor as well as eponym. Red Bulls became champions of the Oberliga as quickly as the 2000/2001 season (the Oberliga was then the equivalent of the second division), but weren't quite yet ready for the highest level. Until three years later, that is. The Red Bulls fought their way back to the championship in the Nationalliga, ending the Salzburg ice hockey club's 16 years of absence from the Bundesliga. In 2006\07 Red Bulls won it's first title
