In 1994 the founding member of the league was outsourced to a limited liability company by the Augsburg ice skating club AEV , which was founded in 1878, and the parent club is still responsible for the junior division today.

The biggest success of the club so far, whose teams have played their home games in the Curt Frenzel Stadium since 1936 , was winning the runner-up in 2010 alongside winning the second division championship in 1994. The club colors of the Augsburg Panthers are red, green and white.

history

The beginnings of Augsburg ice hockey

The Augsburger EV was founded in 1878 and is therefore one of the oldest ice skating clubs in Germany. However, he did not play his first ice hockey game until 1929: On February 5, 1929, they met the second team of HG Nürnberg and lost 1: 5. During the Second World War the AEV played in the highest Bavarian league, the A-class; partly in a war syndicate with TSV Schwaben Augsburg .

HC Augsburg

After the Second World War there was a new beginning under the name HCA “Yellow Tigers”. Already in 1946/47 they took part in the Bavarian championship. 1947/48 you could qualify for the first time for the finals of the German championship and finished fifth. This also qualified for the new ice hockey league . After another fifth place in 1948/49 , they were relegated in 1949/50 . This season the team only had ice in Augsburg at the end of January and had not been able to play or train at home until then. So it came to heavy defeats, including a 1:31 with the reigning champion EV Füssen . In 1953 it was renamed again, but there were no further successes.

New beginning under Curt Frenzel

In 1962 another new beginning was dared under Curt Frenzel with the old name AEV. Six years later they finally made it to the first division . It is remarkable that FC Bayern Munich started a team in the Bundesliga in the 1960s that came to an inglorious end in 1969. The then Bayern manager Robert Schwan ensures that the team is disbanded because of "league unsuitability". The Augsburg EV buys the team for 135,000 marks, the equipment is available from FC Bayern as a free bonus. In the 1969/70 season one reached a 5th place under the later national coach Xaver Nonsense .

The time in the second Bundesliga

After relegation in 1974 you could return to the Bundesliga twice for one season. In 1979 the AEV withdrew to the league for economic reasons . There were two transition years in this league before they were promoted back to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1981 after a strong season . The club did not stay there for very long, however, and was relegated to the third-highest German division after the first year. The team was able to master the following season with ease and qualified again for the 2nd Bundesliga. They then spent four years in the league until the AEV withdrew from the league at the end of the 1986/87 season despite a second place and consequently played in the league. After this changeable time, a new beginning under a new management should ensure steady success.

In 1989 they were promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga and the AEV secured relegation for the next few years. In 1993 , after a first place at the end of the main round, the AEV narrowly missed a place in the 1st Bundesliga. In the play-off semifinals they lost a passionate series against ES Weißwasser .

Promotion to the German Ice Hockey League

When the DEL was founded in 1994, the AEV was promoted to this class and was there from the start. The AEV professional team was renamed the Augsburger Panther and has existed since then in the form of a GmbH . The DEL's premier season was not so successful for the Panthers. After the main round, the team only finished 13th, but was still able to move into the subsequent play-offs. There they met the Krefeld Penguins in the round of 16 . The AEV lost this series 1: 4 games.

The following season shouldn't get any better at first. After the main round, the team around top scorer Duanne Moeser only improved by one, to twelfth place. In the play-off round of 16, the opponent was Schwenninger Wild Wings . The Panthers were able to prevail in the best of five series with 3: 1 games and thus made it to the quarter-finals for the first time. With the Kölner Haien you met a championship candidate who in the end had the better individual players in his ranks and thus clearly defeated the AEV with 3-0 victories.

Augsburg during the game against the Krefeld Penguins

Reached the play-off quarter-finals with the Panthers in 2005, François Méthot

The 2000/01 season was much worse. The Panthers could only reach the 14th place and thus missed the previously targeted play-offs. The team disappointed across the board and ran after their own ambitions. The team's best scorer was the then 36-year-old Russian Sergei Vostrikow . He scored 78 scorer points in 56 games.

A season later, the AEV was able to move back into the play-offs with an eighth place. The opponent there was the runner-up in 2001, the Munich Barons . The Panthers won their first game in Munich 6: 5 in front of a sold out hall. In game two, the Barons won 2: 1 and equalized the prestigious series to 1: 1. Against a sold-out backdrop at the Munich Olympic Ice Sports Center , the Barons won a hard-fought game 4-2, taking them 2-1 for the first time in this series. They also won the fourth game and made it to the semi-finals. The Panthers were eliminated again in the quarter-finals.

In the following two game years, the AEV could not reach the play-offs, despite prominent players like former NHL players Greg Leeb or Chris Armstrong . During the 2004/05 season there was a change within the team. Several players left the AEV in the direction of financially strong DEL clubs. The consequence of this was the replacement of half the management team. Those in charge of the Panthers now mainly rely on a mixture of young, talented German and experienced foreign players. It seemed to work out. The Augsburg ice hockey club reached the play-offs again after a two-year break. After a solid main round, the team took seventh place and even positioned itself in front of the favorite clubs from Hamburg, Düsseldorf or Hanover. In the quarter-finals of the play-offs, the Augsburg Panthers met championship favorites Eisbären Berlin. In the end, the AEV had no chance and were clearly eliminated 4: 1.

The next three years were unsuccessful. You could not reach the play-offs and occupied with places 12, 13 and 12 each a place in the lower third of the table.

As of 2007/08, the Panthers have agreed to work with the EC Peiting so that Panther funding license players will be deployed in Peiting. Manager of the Panther has been Max Fedra since the 2005/06 season , who was already the manager of Landshut Cannibals , Munich Barons and Hamburg Freezers. Fedra succeeds Karl-Heinz Fliegauf , who before the season, after eleven years with the Panthers, switched to the Frankfurt Lions and is now working for the Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg. On December 13, 2007, the Panthers announced that coach Paulin Bordeleau's contract had been terminated by mutual agreement. Larry Mitchell has been the new head coach since December 13, 2007 .

For the 2008/09 season there were three new signings from the 2nd division in the goalkeeping position (Dennis Endras - Ravensburg, Andreas Tanzer - Landsberg, Leonhard Wild - Munich). Dennis Endras, who was voted "Rookie of the Year" in the DEL by the specialist magazine Ice Hockey News and who made it into the German national team , was able to assert himself as a regular goalkeeper . With the tenth place at the end of the main round 2008/09 , the pre-playoffs issued as a season goal were achieved. Here the team lost to EHC Wolfsburg after four games (1: 2, 4: 1, 1: 0, 4: 3 n.V.).

For the 2009/10 season , the basic structure of the team from the previous season could be retained. The trainer Larry Mitchell managed to put together a powerful mix of young German players and North Americans. Until the international break, the team consistently occupied single-digit table positions. Larry Mitchell managed to motivate the team - despite the fact that some key players had signed contracts with competitors - so that the pre-playoffs were reached eighth place in the table. In the pre-playoffs, the team prevailed against Adler Mannheim after two games 2-0. In the quarter-finals against the Eisbären Berlin it surprisingly got the upper hand 3-2 and reached the semi-finals. It won it 3-1 against Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg and qualified for the final of the German championship. In the final against the Hanover Scorpions , the Panthers lost three times in a row with 1: 3, 2: 3 nV and 2: 4, so that the Scorpions won the title.

In the 2010/11 season they were far from a final as in the previous year. The Panthers won only 20 games, were knocked off last and did not qualify for the play-offs. The main round of the 2011/12 season ended with the team eighth. There was only one point missing to reach the quarter-finals. But that's how it went in the pre-play-offs against the bottom nine, the Kölner Haie . In the first leg, which the Panthers contested at home, they were clearly inferior to the Sharks and lost 1: 5. The team could not win the second leg in Cologne either and were eliminated after the 1: 3 defeat.

In the following season Augsburg was again eighth in the main round. This time they played the qualification for the play-offs against the Straubing Tigers . As in the previous year, the team lost both games. The 2013/14 season , the Panthers finished the main round in 11th place and thus missed the play-offs, in 2014/15 they finished 12th and again missed the play-offs. Also in 2015/16 it was not enough for the playoff participation, which was again missed as 12th.

The Panthers finished the main round of the 2016/17 season in sixth place in the table and met the third-placed Nürnberg Ice Tigers in the play-off quarter-finals . The series went into the seventh and decisive game, in which the Panthers lost 3: 5 and were eliminated. In the 2017/18 season , the Panthers again missed the playoffs with 12th place.

In the 2018/19 season, the AEV played the best main round since the league was founded and finished third in the table. This qualified the club for the first time for the Champions Hockey League . The team won the DEL quarter-finals against Düsseldorfer EG 4: 3, in the semifinals the AEV was eliminated in the all-important seventh game against EHC Red Bull Munich .

Placements since the founding of the DEL

For the 1994/95 season , the ice hockey Bundesliga was replaced by the German ice hockey league , to which the Augsburg Panthers have been a founding member ever since. So far, you have been able to reach the play-offs six times, but except in 1996 you never got past the first round. The penultimate play-off participation dates from 2010, when the runner-up celebrated the greatest success in the club's history.

1997 you had to compete in the play-downs as thirteenth in the table and secured the league with 3-0 wins against the Wedemark Scorpions

It has been a completely closed stadium since 2013, after the cabin wing was modernized in 2008 and the roof in 2009. The total renovation costs are estimated at more than 18 million euros. The stadium currently holds 6,139 spectators; before the last renovation, there was space for 7,774 spectators, 1,500 of whom were seated.
