The ERC Ingolstadt (Ice Sports and Roller Skate Club) is a German ice hockey club from Ingolstadt in Upper Bavaria that has been playing in the German Ice Hockey League since 2002 . The professional team was spun off into a limited liability company after the rise of the parent club, which was founded in 1964 and is now responsible for the amateur, women's and junior division.
The club's greatest success so far, whose teams have played their home games in the Saturn Arena since 2003 , was winning the German ice hockey championship in 2014. In addition, the Ingolstadt-based team won the German ice hockey cup in 2005 .
The club colors of the ERC Ingolstadt are blue and white.
Just like the residents of his hometown, the ERC Ingolstadt and its fans are also called "Schanzer".
history
The foundation and the march through
After ERC Ingolstadt was founded in 1964, ten years later the club began playing in the Landesliga Nord in the artificial ice stadium, where they won the championship in 1976 and 1977. From then on there was a march through the Bayernliga (championship, 3rd place) and the Regionalliga Süd (championship and German regional league champions 1979) in the Oberliga Süd. After five years, the Ingolstadt team reached the promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga for the first time . In 1987 they won the championship in the Oberliga Süd.
The withdrawal
In 1989 they withdrew to the Landesliga Nord for financial reasons, but in 1990 they made it to the Bayernliga and in 1991 to the Regionalliga Süd. Under Ignaz Berndaner , who has been coach in Ingolstadt since 1994, the club made it to the 2nd South League in 1995, and in 1996 they were promoted to the 1st South League as champions.

Hacker Pschorr League
With the promotion in Regensburg at the end of the 1995/96 season, the ERCI rose to what was then the second highest division in German ice hockey. The opponents in this league were traditional clubs such as EC Bad Tölz, SC Riessersee or ES Weißwasser. In this derby league, which is dominated by Bavarian clubs, the team under coach Ignaz Berndaner reached third place in the table in the second season, entitling them to promotion to the newly created Bundesliga (2nd Bundesliga).
The 2nd Bundesliga
Ingolstadt was involved in the re-establishment of the 2nd Bundesliga in 1998, with Gerd Wittmann as the new coach, who was replaced by Peter Obresa during the season . In 1999 Jim Boni was hired as a trainer; he coached the team until 2003. In 2000, the club made the runner-up in the 2nd Bundesliga (behind Düsseldorf ). The second division championship in 2001 after winning the finals against EC Bad Tölz brought Ingolstadt to the IIHF Continental Cup in the 2001/02 season , so that on November 25, 2001 Ingolstadt was in the semi-finals of the tournament.
In the 2001/02 season Ingolstadt again managed the runner-up in the 2nd Bundesliga behind REV Bremerhaven , with champions T-shirts being sold in Ingolstadt before the lost final . After the REV flirted with a license application for the DEL, the application was not submitted by the deadline, sometimes for financial reasons as well as the unsuitability of the current REV venue. As runner-up, Ingolstadt was also allowed to submit a license application according to the rules of the cooperation agreement between the DEB and the DEL . Based on this application, Ingolstadt was accepted by the DEL and the license was granted.
Since Ingolstädter GmbH, into which the professional team was spun off with the introduction of the ESBG, had the same nickname as the Augsburger Panther with the name ERC Ingolstadt Panther , the nickname in the DEL had to be dispensed with - but the name is still used by fans today .

Establishment in the DEL (2002-2007)
In 2002, the team played their first game in the DEL with the Kölner Haien , to which several hundred fans traveled by special train. This game was lost with 1: 2. What followed was an average season with a change of coach. On January 3, 2003, the then coach Jim Boni announced his resignation and was replaced by Olle Öst . In the end, the ERC Ingolstadt came in twelfth.
Another important step in the history of ice hockey in Ingolstadt took place in September 2003 when the club moved to the new multifunctional arena. The team lost their first home game 3: 4 after a penalty shootout against the Kassel Huskies . All in all, the 2003/04 season should be more successful than the previous one. With a seventh place in the final bill, direct qualification for the play-offs was secured.
| season | league | Preliminary round | Points | Play-offs |
| 2002/03 | DEL | 12th place | 65 | no |
| 2003/04 | DEL | 7th place | 92 | Semifinals |
| 2004/05 | DEL | 5th place | 91 | Semifinals |
| 2005/06 | DEL | 2nd place | 98 | Quarter finals |
| 2006/07 | DEL | 4th Place | 94 | Quarter finals |
There the team first met the Nürnberg Ice Tigers in the quarterfinals . After the first game of the series ended with a 2-1 defeat after a penalty shootout, the team lost the second game 2-5 from Ingolstadt's point of view. The team won the next four games and decided the series with 4-2 wins for themselves. In the semifinals, the team around top scorer Doug Ast went to the Berlin polar bears in the capital . Finally, the team lost the series with 3-0 wins and suffered some significant defeats, such as the 0-5 in the third game. Nevertheless, the club management was positive to speak of the season, as it has been the most successful sport in recent years and the average attendance of 4294 was more than satisfactory.
The 2004/05 season brought a touch of NHL glamor to German ice hockey arenas. In Ingolstadt, too, one or the other NHL professional was under contract due to the lockout in the best division in the world . Particularly worth mentioning is Marco Sturm , who at the end of the season was the second best scorer behind Jakub Ficenec with 45 points . Other stars from the North American elite league were z. For example, forwards Andy McDonald , Jamie Langenbrunner and defender Aaron Ward . The high expectations in the environment were not met, with the final fifth place after the main round, the team reached the quarter-finals of the play-offs . There the team met the Cologne team . The Ingolstadt team decided the series with 4: 3 wins. In the semifinals, the team met the Eisbären Berlin . As in the previous season, ERC Ingolstadt was defeated by eventual champions Berlin and lost the series with 1: 3 victories.
In the following season, the main round was made more successful than before. With a second place, Bayern reached the quarter-finals of the play-offs . The ERC won their first encounter in front of their own audience 3-2 against the Hannover Scorpions . The Scorpions prevailed in the Best of Seven series with 4-3 wins.
The 2006/07 season was marked by a scandalous game. On November 28, 2006, the biggest mass brawl in German ice hockey history took place in the Lanxess Arena . When the score was 3: 0 for the Kölner Haie, the guest keeper Jimmy Waite attacked the Cologne striker Aaron Gavey . What followed was a brawl, which in the end resulted in a total of 211 penalty minutes. Seven players had to leave the ice immediately. US referee Rick Looker was the referee of the evening . The players of both teams hit each other for minutes until the fuses of Cologne's Moritz Müller and Ingolstadt's Christoph Melischko also burned . Both players later had to be sewn on the ear and face. The game ended 10-0 for the Haie. At the end of the season, the ERC reached the play-offs again , but failed with 2: 4 wins against the Kölner Haien.
From midfield to championship (2007-2014)
A year later things weren't so good for ERC Ingolstadt. With the tenth place in the table after the main round, the team around national player Yannic Seidenberg qualified for the pre-play-offs. There they lost the series 1: 2 against the Hamburg Freezers .
In the 2008/09 season , ERC Ingolstadt took part in the Spengler Cup in Davos for the first time in its club's history , and finished last in the tournament with just one win against HC Davos . In the DEL they played an unsuccessful season, so that the ERCI missed the finals for the first time since 2003.

| 2008/09 | DEL | 12th place | 68 | no |

| 2012/13 | DEL | 6th place | 84 | Quarter finals |
| 2013/14 | DEL | 9th place | 75 | master |
In 2009, Jim Boni was hired as the new sports director who rebuilt the team. In the 2009/10 season things went better for ERC Ingolstadt. After a 7th place in the main round, they defeated the Kölner Haie 2-1 in the pre-playoffs and thus moved into the quarter-finals against the Frankfurt Lions , who were defeated 3-1. In the semifinals they lost 3-0 to the later German champions Hannover Scorpions .
In the 2010/11 season, the ERC qualified sixth in the table for the first time in five years for the quarter-finals, but lost there against the eventual champions, the Eisbären Berlin , with 1: 3. The ERC finished the main round of the 2011/12 season in second place and defeated the Düsseldorfer EG 4-1 in the quarter-finals . The following semi-final against Adler Mannheim , however, went 3-1 to the Electoral Palatinate. In 2012/13 , the Ingolstadt-based company took part in the international competition of the European Trophy for the first time and took fourth place in the West Division, which consisted of eight teams, but missed the final round as a result. In the DEL the club reached the quarter-finals with 6th place without any detours, but failed with 2: 4 due to the Krefeld Penguins .
In 2013/14 the ERC Ingolstadt played in the European Trophy and finished sixth in the same group as in the previous year. In the DEL, however, the club initially failed to build on the good performance of previous years and only finished 9th after the main round, which is why they had to face the Eisbären Berlin in the pre-playoffs. They were defeated 2: 1, which resulted in the quarter-finals of the previous year's duel with the Krefeld Penguins . The second in the main round was defeated this time 4-1, so that after two years they were back in the semifinals. There, the Ingolstadt team met the winner of the regular season with the Hamburg Freezers , but the Hanseatic team were also eliminated 4: 2 - this resulted in the first-time finals in the club's history. Last year's runner-up waited in the final with the Kölner Haien , who were defeated 2-0 away in the all-important 7th game, so the series went 4: 3 to ERC Ingolstadt. As a result, the Panthers won the German ice hockey championship for the first time and celebrated the greatest success in the club's 50-year history.
From 2014: After the title, straight to the final again
Immediately before winning the title, Jim Boni was retired as a sports director. After winning the title, there was no agreement on a new contract between master coach Niklas Sundblad and the ERC. In 2014/15 Sundblad's successor Larry Huras led the team into the final series, which were lost 2: 4 to Mannheim. Huras left the ERC shortly afterwards. In the 2015/16 season Ingolstadt missed participation in the playoffs, in the qualification they failed due to Straubing.
In the 2016/17 season, the ERC lost in the final qualification against league newcomer Bremerhaven

with 0: 2 games. Shortly after the end of the season in March 2017, sports director Jiří Ehrenberger was dismissed, during whose tenure the 2014 championship title and the renewed entry into the final in 2015 had fallen. Ingolstadt also announced numerous departures and changes in the coaching staff. At the end of March 2017, the former Straubing trainer Larry Mitchell was appointed as the new sports director. In November 2017, the ERC fired the Swedish head coach Tommy Samuelsson , who had held the post since summer 2016. Samuelsson suffered seven defeats in a row. On December 22nd, 2017, the Canadian Doug Shedden took over the coaching position, during the transition phase sporting director Mitchell was in charge of the team. Shedden led the ERC into the playoffs, where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals against Mannheim with 1: 4 wins in spring 2018.

Venues
From 1974 to 2003, the ERC Ingolstadt team played in the ice rink on Jahnstrasse. The open-air stadium with 3500 spectator seats no longer met the DEL standards and therefore a move to a newer ice rink was inevitable in order to maintain the Ingolstadt location for higher-class ice hockey.
The ERC Ingolstadt has played its home games in the Saturn Arena since the 2003/04 season . The multifunctional arena was opened on October 3, 2003. It offers space for 4815 spectators at ice hockey games and, in addition to ice hockey, is also the venue for numerous concerts and other events. In the first season in the new arena, the hall was often very well filled with an average of 4294 spectators. In 2007 a second ice rink was opened, which is directly adjacent to the Saturn Arena. The construction of a third ice surface is already planned.
