history

1983/84 - National League

After the bankruptcy of EHC 70 Munich , the club was founded on December 8, 1982 under the name "Eissportclub Hedos München". The name came from the then sponsor, the clothing company Hedos of Roland Holly. However, since company names are not permitted as association names, the name was derived from the Greek word "Hedos". Hedos had previously been a sponsor at TSV 1860 Munich .

For the 1982/83 season, the club was not approved by the Bavarian Ice Sports Association due to deadlines not being met , so it only started in the state league in the 1983/1984 season. The coach was Jiří Kochta , who had already trained the predecessor EHC 70 Munich . In the national league all 18 games were won, the team scored a total of 266 goals.

1984/85 - Bayern League

In the second season the club played successfully in the Bayern League , the only game the EC Hedos Munich lost against the 2nd team from TuS Geretsried . In addition to Jiri Kochta, the Canadian Brian Ashton was signed as the second foreigner as goalkeeper.

1985/86 - Regional League

In the third season, the club played in the regional league . Wolfgang Saller and Robert Huber from the former EHC 70 Munich, Franz Jüttner from the Bundesliga club Mannheimer ERC and later Boguslav "Bobby" Maj strengthened the team. The Regionalliga Süd was dominated again, the EHC Ahaus was defeated in the national regional league championship . The third place in the promotion round required for promotion was achieved by the EC through a direct comparison against the Deggendorfer EC with equal points .

1986/87 - Oberliga

In the fourth season, the club played in the major league . Jiří Kochta left the EC and was replaced by Eduart Derkits , later during the season by Holger Ustorf . With Gerhard Graf and Reinhold Degenhart two more former players of the EHC 70 Munich came back. With the 40-year-old Danny Lawson came a player who in the 1970s had been successful in the National Hockey League and especially in the World Hockey Association .

Behind teams like ERC Ingolstadt and EHC 80 Nürnberg , they qualified for the promotion round with 5th place. Here in one of the two groups of 8 of the promotion round place 4 was achieved. In a placement game against the fourth in the other group, they prevailed against Nuremberg and were seventh behind 6 teams from the 2nd Bundesliga and thus the best Oberliga team. For the first time the athletic promotion to a higher league was missed, but in the course of the summer, due to the financial problems at Augsburg EV and VER Selb and the waiver of ERC Sonthofen, they could still move up to the 2nd Bundesliga South.

1987/88 and 1988/89 - 2nd Bundesliga

In the next season, the club played in the 2nd Bundesliga . The squad was changed a lot, so that from the team from the first season there was no longer a player in the club. The new coach was Ulf Sterner , the first NHL player to grow up in Europe. The two foreigner positions were filled with the Canadians Scott MacLeod and Doug Morrison , who together with Georg "Schorsch" Kieslinger formed the storm. Michael "Micki" Betz and Franz Xaver Ibelherr had already played together in Rosenheim . As Kieslinger came for the defense of the ex-national player Ignaz Berndaner from SC Riessersee . Peter Weigl and goalkeeper Rupert Meister were brought in from Landshut .

The audience was initially skeptical due to the upheaval, but quickly accepted the new team, the Olympic ice rink was sold out several times. Scott MacLeod became the league's top scorer. In the course of the first season of the second division, the top defender Mike Heidt was brought in from Bayreuth .

Since the team missed promotion to the 1st Bundesliga in the first season, they also played the 1988/89 season in the 2nd Bundesliga , after which the club was promoted to the 1st Bundesliga.

1989 / 90–1993 / 94 - 1st Bundesliga

In 1989 the team played in the 1st Bundesliga for the first time . Ken Berry and Dale Derkatch replaced the two Canadians. In the game played for the first time in the Olympiahalle , the team qualified for the championship playoffs with a 4-2 win against EV Landshut , where the team lost to the Düsseldorfer EG in the quarterfinals .

In the second first Bundesliga season , Franz Jüttner left the club, which was seen as a pillar of the team, which was temporarily insolvent in autumn 1990. Derkatch switched to the competitor in Rosenheim and the new foreigners, Dan Hodgson and Peter Ihnacak, were not an equal substitute. The team was eliminated again in the quarter-finals of the playoffs - this time against the Kölner Haie .

After three years with bad placements, with the team 91/92 only making it through the relegation playoffs, the club tried to achieve sporting success with Gerd Truntschka , Dieter Hegen , Karl Friesen , Raimond Hilger and others, although the club's finances were tense were. In terms of sport, things were looking up in the 1992/93 season . Dale Derkatch returned and with Wally Schreiber , Gordon Sherven and Mike Schmidt stars of the league came to Munich. With this team you could now bring the championship to Munich in the 1993/94 season .

The EC Hedos Munich set a record in the 1994 final against the Düsseldorfer EG , which is still valid today. Hedos Munich was the undefeated German champions as the worse placed of the two final teams.

The Krefeld Penguins scratched this mark in 2003 in the final series against the Kölner Haie when they were already 2-0 ahead of wins, but Cologne still balanced the series with two narrow wins (3-2 and 3-2), but then in lost fifth game with 1: 3.

1994/95 - German ice hockey league

After the championship in 1994, the club's first team was renamed Maddogs Munich and attempts were made to outsource EC Hedos Munich as a GmbH, which was to become a founding member of the German Ice Hockey League.

The team took part at the start of the first season of the German ice hockey league , but on December 18, 1994, the Maddogs Munich made their last league game in Nuremberg and the team's game operations were suspended. The games that were not played in the DEL were counted as a draw and Munich was deleted from the table.

Since the outsourcing of the team to the GmbH - which did not get beyond the status in founding - had actually not taken place, bankruptcy proceedings were initiated via the EC Hedos Munich association, following an application by the Munich Regional Finance Directorate, with a debt of around 16.2 million marks Rejected at the beginning of 1995 for lack of funds.

The general meeting of the association, held in May 1995 by the emergency board member Franz Litzinger, decided to liquidate the association, for which attorney Wolf-Dietrich Kohler was commissioned.

present

The EHC Munich club , which was founded in 1998, was considering adding the name Hedos to the club name from the 2004/05 season until the following summer . It was found that the bankruptcy proceedings against the EC Hedos Munich association had not yet been fully completed, which, among other reasons, led to the name not being recorded.

The name Hedos has since been protected for the ice hockey sector by a private person in 2005 (at the time press spokesman for the EHC Munich).
