history
The BSchC was founded in 1893. Since the club's own premises were initially no longer available since the end of the Second World War and were only available to a limited extent in the following years, the club moved back to today's club premises on Glockenturmstrasse in Berlin in 1974.
The years until the first championship
In 1908 ice hockey was first started in the Berlin Ice Skating Club. In November 1908, the BSchC played its first official ice hockey game as part of the international ice hockey tournament in the Berlin Ice Palace on Lutherstrasse, which was held by the ice skating club. The team's first opponent was SC Charlottenburg , who were defeated with 13-0 goals. In 1910 and 1911 the team reached the finals of the Berlin city championship twice in a row and was subject to BFC Prussia . In 1912 the club became German champions for the first time . In the following decades 19 more championships were added, one of them in a war syndicate with SC Brandenburg .
The Berliner SC was also active internationally. At the ice hockey tournament in Brussels in 1910 they finished second and in 1911 third. In the Coupe de Chamonix , four participations between 1910 and 1914 took second place three times and third place once. At the first European Championship in 1910 , the Berliner SC represented Germany and came second; In the following years, the team of the Berliner SC provided the main part of the German national team . From 1912 to 1914 they were German representatives at the LIHG championship , which they won in 1912 and 1913 , and in 1914 they finished second. The ice hockey tournaments in Les Avants in 1911 and 1914 were each finished second. The Ringhoffer Cup in Prague was won at all three events in 1913, 1914 and 1922.
The post-war years to the end of the 1960s
In the post-war period after the Second World War, the BSchC team initially played under the name EG Berlin-Eichkamp, as the club was only allowed to be entered in the register of associations under its original name in 1951. As EG Berlin-Eichkamp , the club won the German runner-up in 1947 and the championship title of the Berlin Ice Sports Association in 1949. In the qualifying games for the newly founded ice hockey league , the ice skating club failed in the same year at the Munich EV .
In the 1957/58 season, the club was promoted to the league, but with the introduction of the ice hockey Bundesliga, it was downgraded back to the - now second class - league . In the league, the BSchC remained except for a brief interlude in the Bundesliga season 1966/67 and the season 1969/70 after a voluntary retreat in the regional league before the club established itself in the ice hockey upper house from the season 1972/73 .
Early 1970s to late 1980s
In the summer of 1971, the ice hockey teams of BFC Preussen and Hertha BSC were dissolved in Berlin , so that the previous leading players of these teams strengthened the BSC squad. Both in the 1973/74 season and the 1975/76 season, the club and coach Xaver Unsinn became German champions. Outstanding players were z. B. Lorenz Funk sr. and the Vozar brothers. In 1981 the ice hockey department was finally transferred to the Berliner Schlittschuh-Club Eishockey e. V. outsourced, but this did not prevent the withdrawal from the ice hockey Bundesliga in 1982 due to financial difficulties. Parts of the withdrawn team then formed the BSC Prussia . In 1983 the BSchC resumed gaming in the Regionalliga Nord and played in the Oberliga Nord from 1984 until the team was dissolved in 1987 .
Women's team
In 1983, the ice hockey range was expanded to include a women's team , which joined the OSC Berlin in 1988 .
The 1990s
After the East Berlin ice hockey team of the Berliner SV AdW joined in 1991 , which was accepted into the Regionalliga Nord in 1990/91 as a participant in the last determination of the best in the GDR , the ice skating club took on the classification of the BSV AdW in the Regionalliga Nord. After the ice hockey department was outsourced to the revived Berlin Ice Skating Club in 1992 , it played again in the Oberliga Nord until the 1993/94 season . In 1996 , the club even rose to the 2nd division north for one season . In the following period, the BSchC ice hockey was reintegrated into the main club.
In 2004, after the insolvency of the Berlin Capitals , the Berliner Schlittschuh-Club entered into a cooperation with the newly founded Berliner Schlittschuh-Club Preussen GmbH ( see BSchC Preussen ), which however ended after one year after the insolvency of the BSchC Preussen in 2005. As in the 2005/06 season, the first men's team of the BSchC played in the fifth-class association league North-East until 2007, the second selection appeared in the sixth-class Landesliga Berlin.
The ESC Berlin
At the beginning of July 2007, the ice hockey department was excluded from the Berlin Ice Skate Club 1893. In order to enable the members of the excluded department to continue playing, a new club, the Berlin Ice Skating Club 2007 Ice Sports , later Ice Sports and Ice Skating Club (ESC) Berlin was founded. The ESC played one season in the regional league in 2007/08 . After the club was relegated to the fifth-class Berlin regional league, a team was simultaneously registered in the Sachsenliga , which became the fourth-highest division through a league reform in 2010 and was renamed Regionalliga Ost the following year. The highlight in 2010 was a league game by the club in the O2 World in front of over 1000 spectators. In 2018 the club withdrew from the regional league to the regional league.
