history
The first EHC Thun was founded in 1936. The EHC Thun merged with the EHC Steffisburg to form the EHC Thun-Steffisburg in the 1970s. In 1993 the club merged with the ice hockey section of the SC Thunerstern and was henceforth called SC Thun. In 2006 the name was changed to EHC Thun.
The Thun Castle , which is located directly next to the home ground, used to be seen in the logo of the EHC Thun . Today you can see the head of " Fulehung " in the logo . This is based on the former court jester who has cult status in the city of Thun . One of the greatest successes in the entire history of the club was the two-time promotion to the National League B in 1966 and 1972. In the 2015/16 season, the EHC Thun 1st League Central Switzerland champions.
EHC Thun has been playing in the MySports League, founded in 2017, since the 2017/18 season . In the first two seasons, the EHC Thun reached the playoffs, but failed both times in the quarter-finals.
In 2014, EHC Thun qualified for the re-introduced Swiss Ice Hockey Cup . In the sixteenth final, EHC Thun received SC Bern in the sold-out KEB Grabengut. After three years without participating in the Cup, EHC Thun was back in the 2017/18 season. Against the EHC Olten from the Swiss League they were also eliminated in the sixteenth finals.

Venue
The EHC Thun plays its games on the Grabengut artificial ice rink . The stadium is covered and can accommodate 2,500 people. EHC Thun has been campaigning for the renovation of the stadium for years. Since the grave is open to the outside, the first phase of the season always takes place at high temperatures. The heat prevents good ice quality and has been a problem for the Thun ice sports clubs for years. The Grabengut is located in the middle of the city of Thun , just below Thun Castle . The ice rink offers two ice rinks every year from mid-September to mid-March.
