A look at history
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Academic Sports Club Dresden 1909 participated in Berlin with its ice hockey team for the first time and won the international tournament. In the following years, the ASC repeatedly achieved the Saxon runner-up title. In 1934, Blau-Weiß Dresden won the first Saxon championship. After World War II, the BSG KWU Dresden won the first Saxon championship in the newly re-established ice hockey league. In 1960, the artificial ice rink on Pieschener Allee was opened.
From the 1970s onward, the DDR-Oberliga with two locations dominated ice hockey. In 1990, the ESC Dresden was founded, and in 1999, it was promoted to the Oberliga. The club faced financial problems, but in 2005, it succeeded in being promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga. The Ice Lions celebrated reaching the DEL2 semifinals and extraordinary open-air games like the Winter Derby in 2016 and Hockey Open Air in 2020. The 2020 season had to be canceled due to the coronavirus. Despite financial challenges, the club has established itself in the region and in the league and can look back on numerous successes. Moreover, the goal of the Ice Lions is: Promotion to the DEL.
