The Eissportclub Dresden (short: ESC Dresden , ESCD ) is an ice hockey club from Dresden . It was founded in 1989/90 as a winter sports club , in which, in addition to ice hockey, there were also figure skating , speed skating and short track departments , but their members subsequently founded their own clubs. Today the ESC Dresden is the parent club of the Dresdner Eislöwen ( DEL2 ) and the para-ice hockey team Dresdner Eislöwen Sledge .

history

The ESC Dresden was founded in 1989 before the fall of the Berlin Wall. In evaluating the 1988 Winter Olympics , the DTSB had previously decided to separate winter sports from the sports clubs of the GDR sports system and transfer them to their own clubs. In this way, among other things, the ESC Erfurt emerged from the SC Turbine Erfurt . In Dresden, the sections of figure skating and speed skating , located in the SC Einheit Dresden , merged to form the ESC Dresden, which was entered in the club register on April 28, 1990 - this day the club considered its founding date. Based on the STHC Blau-Weiß Dresden, blue and white became the club colors. Also in April 1990, an ice hockey department was founded at the ESC. Ice hockey has been the main sport at ESC Dresden since the founding of their own clubs by figure skaters (1999) and speed skaters and short trackers (2001).

Sports and departments

ice Hockey

The ice hockey department belonged to the HSG Wissenschaft TH Dresden until 1960 , then to the SC Einheit Dresden until 1970 and later to the BSG Verkehrsbetriebe Dresden (from 1984 BSG Kraftverkehr Dresden). In April 1990, their players switched to the new ESC Dresden.

In addition to the senior team, which belonged to the Sachsenliga, other senior, hobby and youth teams were organized in the club in the 1990s. In 1997, the then 1c team left the club and founded the EHV Dresden "The Devils", which initially started in the Landesliga Sachsen and is now part of the Sachsenliga. As part of the inclusion of ESC Dresden in the league, a game operating company, the ESCD "Dresdner Eislöwen" GmbH, was founded, which took care of all the needs of the professional team. Due to massive financial problems, the Eislöwen operating company went bankrupt on January 4, 2001. This led to the separation of the youth teams from the parent club and to the establishment of the EHC “New Ice Lions” Dresden. A short time later, the operating company ESCD Dresden mbH was founded, which has since organized and financed the first team's games. According to a contractual agreement between EHC and ESC from January 2008, all young players returned to ESC Dresden on May 1, 2008.

Today the Para-Ice Hockey departments ( Dresdner Eislöwen Sledge in the German Para-Ice Hockey League ), old men / traditional team, youngsters / amateurs and fans / sponsors belong to the club. The Eissportclub Dresden is the majority shareholder in terms of voting shares in the operating company ESCD Dresden mbH and is linked to it by a cooperation agreement. In 2011 the ESC Dresden had a total of 487 members.

Former departments

figure skating

The figure skating department of the ESC Dresden, to which the trainer Ingrid Lehmann and the successful figure skater Evelyn Großmann belonged, became self-employed as the Dresden ice skating club on January 18, 1999. The department emerged from the figure skating section of the SC Einheit Dresden, which in turn emerged in the spring of 1962 when figure skaters from the BSG Post Dresden had joined the SC Einheit.

Speed ​​skating and short track

The speed skating department was founded in November 1970 as the speed skating section of the SC Einheit Dresden . On April 6, 2001, this area of ​​the ESC Dresden with its two departments speed skating and short track became independent as the Dresden ice skating club . Well-known speed skaters of the club were Jens Boden and Christa Luding-Rothenburger . During her time at the ESC, the latter was German individual champion over 500 and 1000 meters (both in 1991). In 1992 she also won bronze at the Olympic Winter Games in Albertville over 500 meters and at the Sprint World Championships in Oslo in the all- around (best-placed German speed skater at this World Championships) at the end of her career.

Yvonne Kunze was successful as a short tracker of the ESC Dresden , who won the bronze medal at the short track European championships in 1998 in Budapest (with the relay) and in 2000 in Bormio (over 1000 meters). The ESCD short track youngsters include Sebastian Praus , Robert Seifert , Bianca Walter and Christin Priebst .
