The CH Casco Viejo Bilbao was founded in 1975 and immediately took part in the Superliga , the highest Spanish ice hockey division. In their first season the team reached the cup final, a year later they won the Spanish championship for the first time in 1977 .

Before the 1981/82 season , the club changed its name to CH Vizcaya Bilbao. Two more championship titles followed ( 1982 and 1983 ), as well as a final participation in the Copa del Rey (1982).
Bilbao took part in the European Cup four times from 1978 to 1983 . Their greatest success at international level was reaching the second round in the 1982/83 season after they beat CSG Grenoble from the French Ligue Magnus 7-2 and 6-4.
