The EHC 70 München is a former ice hockey team from Munich , who in the 1980/81 season in the game operation of the Hockey League took part, and the predecessor was founded in 1982 EC Hedos Munich .

history

The association was founded in 1970 by Johann Beinhölzl, Bruno Lettl and Cornexel. In the 1970/71 season the game of the then ice hockey district league was participated for the first time. 1973 rose the EHC 70 Munich in the ice hockey Oberliga Süd, in which one played in the coming years. There were many players in the team who had already played in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich . This included goalkeeper Theo Gross and strikers Peter Maus and Michael Mauer, who had meanwhile played together at Augsburg EV . Already in the 1974/75 season the team dominated the preliminary round with the Canadian Heath and the Finn Matthias Suves. In the promotion round, the Munich team felt disadvantaged by the referee in the second game against Hanover and suffered another defeat in Grefrath in very poor ice conditions. A home defeat against Regensburg ended the hopes for promotion. In the 1975/76 season , the club failed in the promotion final at EV Landsberg , but the team moved up to the second highest division due to the short-term increase in the 2nd Bundesliga at the "Green Table".

In September 1976, the EHC Munich merged with the ice hockey department of MEV 1883 Munich and thus became the only club with ice hockey operations in Munich, although some MEV players subsequently switched to EHC Klostersee . In the summer of 1977 Franz Wittmann was elected to succeed the previous President Bruno Lettl. In 1978 two companies, in which Jochem Erlemann , the then President of the Cologne EC , was also involved, founded the Munich ice hockey GmbH Blue Lions to financially support the EHC 70 Munich, the so-called Erlemann model . During this time, the start goalkeeper Jiří Holeček was signed . In the summer of 1979 Horst Franke finally inherited the previous President Franz Widmann.

After the surprising promotion to the 1st Bundesliga , the club was able to take part in the top German ice hockey division in the 1980/81 season - due to the scandal over the forged passports of some foreign players, also known as the “pass forger season ” - but the league was missed .

During the 1981/82 season , the EHC succeeded in qualifying for the promotion round to the ice hockey Bundesliga, but the team was canceled by the previous Spielbetriebs-KG due to financial problems in agreement with the club, which led to the bankruptcy of the Spielbetriebs-KG. KG.

Some of the EHC youngsters then founded a new club, the Munich Ice Skating Club, in the summer of 1982 , while the former President Horst Franke, among others, founded the EC Hedos Munich in autumn 1982 . For the 1982/83 season, EHC 70 Munich reported a senior team for the Bavarian ice hockey regional league in addition to the youth teams, but withdrew from play before the start of the season, so the club had to file for bankruptcy.
