The ice sports club Zug is a Swiss ice hockey club from Zug . In the 1997/98 season , the EVZ won its first Swiss championship title. In the 2020/21 season , the EVZ celebrated its second title in the club's history.

history

In 1967 EV Zug emerged from the Baarer Schlittschuhclub (BSC) founded in 1953. The second division team from Baar moved to the new artificial ice rink in the Hertiquartier in Stadtzug. On November 26, 1967, the Herti ice rink was opened with a tournament. The EV train won against the EHC Arosa with 5: 4, defeating the next day, amplified by the Neuchâtel Orville Martini , the SC Bern before 3,500 viewers with 6: 5th

The 1970s - candidate for promotion to the NLA

EV Zug started in the 2nd division in 1967/68 and made it to the 1st division just two years later . In 1969/70 the club started the first season of the first league without any great ambitions. But the potential of this team was enormous and after a winning streak of nine games, the EVZ was already a candidate for promotion. Within the team, it was decided to wait for the promotion because there were no offspring of their own and the ice rink had only been open for three years. The following years were not very ambitious in the first division. In 1973/74 EV Zug started with a star troop heading for NLB , including goalkeeper legend Gérald Rigolet , Paul Probst , Heinz Jenni , Oskar Huber and player- coach Reto Stuppan . The legendary “Stuppan Boys” made it to the NLB on March 9, 1974 with a 4-3 home win against EHC Uzwil in front of 6,795 spectators. Already in the first NLB season 1974/75 the Zugers won the NLB-Ostgruppe superior. But Rigolet's injury-related failure stopped the upward trend and EHC Biel failed in the promotion games. For the 1975/76 season, the Zug team succeeded in signing Jorma Peltonen , the best Finnish scorer of all time, a transfer coup. Again the EVZ won the group stage and achieved promotion to the NLA with a breathtaking 7: 6 win against Zürcher SC in the Hallenstadion . Up to five minutes before the end of the game, the Zugers were 5: 6 behind, but were able to equalize with Peltonen two minutes before the end and 22 seconds before the end of the game by Jenni even scored the much-acclaimed 7: 6 winner. Just ten years after it was founded, EV Zug was thus the Swiss first division.

The first season in the NLA started with great expectations. Jorma Peltonen was the new player-coach and replaced Reto Stuppan, who had led Zug from the 1st division to the NLA. At the start against Bern, 8,357 spectators came, which meant that the stadium was sold out. However, EVZ lost the game 3-0 and four more games should follow before their first win. The euphoria and expectations of the EVZ were huge. However, the team could not meet this. Due to the lack of quality on the offensive, EVZ lost many games by just one or two goals. With the eighth place in the table at the end of the season, the EVZ had to say goodbye to the NLB after only one year in the upper house. The following two seasons 1977/78 and 1978/79 the EVZ played again quite successfully in the NLB and was twice NLB runner-up, but without real opportunities for promotion.

The 1980s - gray mouse and a renewed rise

In Zug there was talk of rebuilding and hired a young sports teacher, Jürg Schafroth, as the new trainer. But instead of progress, there was a fall into mediocrity. Schafroth turned out to be a theoretician who was never accepted by the team. The 1979/80 season ended in fifth place. In the 1980/81 season, Zug made another mistake. Instead of Schafroth, they signed Jorma Peltonen, who had already failed at the EVZ. An eighth place was the result, and in the relegation games you could just save yourself from relegation, whereupon the coach and president resigned. The turbulence at the EVZ continued and the Zugers fell into the first division in free fall. The new president and chief physician Georg Keizer had not only taken on a seriously ill patient, but also a mountain of debt of 430,000 Swiss francs .

With a budget of a little more than half a million Swiss francs, the relegated took a fresh start. After calm returned to the club, František Dum , a Czechoslovak top coach, was hired to lead the EV train back up. On March 4, 1983, the EVZ was promoted back to the NLB. After 22 wins in as many games, the EVZ finished the championship on February 12th on the sovereign first place with no loss point.

For the 1983/84 NLB season, Zug achieved another coup with the transfer of Ivan Hlinka , one of the best ice hockey players of all time and a Czechoslovak national hero. Nevertheless, you could not establish yourself in the upper half of the table. Only when Andy Murray took over the coaching position in 1986/87 , brought the necessary fighting spirit and formed a strong attack line with Colin Muller , Don Laurence and John Fritsche , succeeded in the promotion series against Zürcher SC , which were won with 3-1 games sensational and rather surprising promotion to the NLA.

In contrast to their first stay in the NLA, the team did not get relegated straight away, but secured the desired league maintenance long before the end. The second NLA season in EVZ history 1987/88 had been mastered without any problems and the 1988/89 season was n't too much of a worry either. The result was a fifth place in the qualification and the quarter-finals in the playoffs against HC Ambrì-Piotta . However, before the start of the season, Zug had to digest the departure of coach Andy Murray, who had followed the call of the National Hockey League and hired as an assistant coach for the Philadelphia Flyers .

The 1990s - the first championship title

In 1989/90 Fredy Egli took over the office as the new EVZ President and he should shape the association into one of the most successful in the country. In the following four NLA seasons, Zug always qualified for the playoffs, but always failed in the quarter-finals. Only in the 1993/94 season led Björn Kindig ECCs after an excellent fourth place in qualifying in the playoff semi-final. In the duel against Friborg-Gottéron with the Olympic champions Vyacheslav Bykow and Andrei Chomutow , however, the EVZ was eliminated. In the following season , the players set out on the ice to new heights. Under the new coaching duo Jim Koleff and Sean Simpson and playful direction by Ken Yaremchuk , Tom Fergus and Misko Antisin , they achieved first place in the qualification. In the playoff final, the EVZ was only stopped by series champion EHC Kloten . Despite the 1: 3 defeat, the first runner-up title was celebrated euphorically. In the 1995/96 season the EVZ was able to establish itself in the top positions when the club was fourth in the qualification and was eliminated in the semifinals against SC Bern . A year later , the "Koleff-Jungs" played a good season with second place in the qualification and was strongly equipped with Wes Walz and Bill McDougall . But even they could not help the EVZ to its first championship title. Again they lost in the playoff final, this time with 1: 3 against Bern.

Logo until the 2009/10 season

In 1997/98 the Zugers played a strong qualification, which they finished on the well-deserved first place. They started the playoffs as big favorites, but almost failed in the quarter-finals against SC Rapperswil-Jona and HC Ambrì-Piotta in the semifinals. The Zugers saved themselves twice with 4-3 wins in the series against these clubs. In the final you could then beat HC Davos with 4-2 victories and became Swiss champions for the first time in the club's history . The cornerstones of the championship team under the direction of coach Simpson were an outstanding goalkeeper Ronnie Rüeger , in defense Patrick Sutter and André Künzi , in the storm Bill McDougall , Wes Walz , Misko Antisin , André Rötheli and Jörg Eberle . However, the team had passed its zenith and the championship team could not be held together.

In July 1998, EVZ Sport AG was founded as an operating company, Fredy Egli became Chairman of the Board of Directors. In the following seasons 1998/99 and 1999/2000 the EVZ was able to qualify twice for the playoff semifinals, but was eliminated without much chance of winning the title.

On July 21, 1999, Egli resigned as President of the EVZ and as Chairman of the Board of Directors of EVZ Sport AG. His successor as Chairman of the Board of Directors was August «Gusti» von Wartburg, who held the office of President until 2001.

The 2000s - Almost relegation is followed by Simpson return / start of Shedden's tenure

In the 1999/2000 season, the playoff semi-finals were reached. In 2001 (this year it did not go beyond the quarter-finals) there were several personnel changes at the EVZ: President von Wartburg (as early as March 2001) and other board members resigned, Philipp Neuenschwander succeeded Kurt Halm as the new head of sport, and also head coach André Peloffy had to vacate his post. Due to the negative development after winning the championship in 1998, an external working group headed by Hanspeter Brändli was set up, which in its report criticized the work of President von Wartburg and the players André Rötheli , Patrick Sutter , Dino Kessler and André Künzi classified as a "troublemaker" within the squad. Brändli was elected as the successor to Wartburgs in August 2001 as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors.

In the 2001/02 game year it was again in the quarterfinals. In the 2002/03 season, the EVZ jumped from last to tenth place in the qualification table thanks to a forfait victory that was subsequently awarded over Friborg-Gottéron. In a victory over Zug, Friborg let a player participate who did not have a valid license to play.

Engelbert Huber took office as President in 2003 and initiated a fresh start: Sean Simpson returned as head coach, who made EVZ Swiss champions for the first time in 1998. In February 2004, the squad had been strengthened with NHL star Claude Lemieux . It succeeded in the playoff qualification, there it was the end in the quarter-finals against the eventual title winner Bern. In April 2004, sports director Neuenschwander left the EVZ after his contract was not extended. Patrick Lengwiler was hired as his successor.

The 2004/05 season was under the influence of industrial action in the NHL. Niko Kapanen from the Dallas Stars and Mike Fisher from the Ottawa Senators strengthened the Zugers. The EVZ came fourth in qualifying up to the semi-finals, but had to bow to the ZSC Lions there.

In 2006 they were eliminated in the playoff quarter-finals against Rapperswil-Jona. In the same year Engelbert Huber, who had worked for the EVZ in various functions for the previous 39 years, resigned as President of the Board of Directors, Roland Staerkle took over the office. The building materials and steel trader was a member of the EVZ management team from 1993 to 2000.

In 2007 they faced Bern in the semi-finals and lost. In the 2007/08 season (the last under Sean Simpson), the EVZ was stopped in the quarter-finals despite a 3-0 advantage from HC Davos.

Doug Shedden took over the post of head coach from his compatriot Simpson in 2008 and brought along the Finn Waltteri Immonen as his co.

The 2010s - Semifinals again and again

Shedden / Immonen led the EVZ to the playoff semi-finals in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, which always ended up being the end of the line. In March 2013 Jakub Horak took office as the new sports director, his predecessor Lengwiler was promoted to managing director. Lengwiler developed, among other things, the concept of the youth academy, in which from then on sporting and professional training were combined. The academy and the creation of young players became Zug's trademarks. In the 2013/14 season, the EVZ missed participation in the championship round, whereupon Shedden and sports director Horak were dismissed in March 2014.

In April 2014 a comprehensive change in the corporate structure took place: The parent company, henceforth called EVZ Holding AG, was merged with EVZ Nachwuchs AG (responsible for the youth movement as well as the second team as well as senior and veteran teams), The Hockey Academy AG (responsible for running the youth academy ), EVZ Sport AG (responsible for the sporting aspects of the professional team) and EVZ Management AG (responsible, among other things, for administration and public relations) four AGs founded in 2014 as well as EVZ Gastro AG, which has existed since 2009 (responsible for catering, among other things at home games) as a subsidiary.

The German-Canadian Harold Kreis became the new head coach in 2014, Reto Kläy succeeded Horak in the office of sports director. In the playoffs 2014/15 you were thrown out of the race in the quarter-finals by the eventual champions Davos. In 2015, the main shareholder Hans-Peter Strebel also took over the office of President on the Board of Directors, succeeding Roland Staerkle in this position.

In 2015/16, the EVZ was eliminated against Lugano in the quarter-finals of the NLA championship round. In 2016/17, Zug finished third in the table and reached the playoff final for the first time since winning the championship title in 1998. There, the district team was defeated by SC Bern with 2: 4 wins.

The qualification of the 2017/18 season finished second, but then could not prevail in the playoff quarter-finals against the ZSC Lions and was eliminated in the series with 1: 4 wins. A few weeks after the end of the season, the separation from coach circle was announced. The German-Canadian was in office for four years.

At the end of April 2018, the Norwegian Dan Tangnes was introduced as head coach, who had previously worked for the Swedish first division club HC Linköping. The then 39-year-old should, according to the EVZ, “ensure the implementation of the chosen strategy as an ambitious training club”. In the Champions Hockey League , EVZ was eliminated in the first knockout round in the 2018/19 season, in previous years it was twice in the group phase (2014/15 and 2015/16) and also in the first round of the knockout phase ( 2016/17, 2017/18) terminus. On February 3rd, the team became cup winners for the first time. In the final, Rapperswil-Jona was defeated 5-1. A public viewing with live music was organized in the Bossard Arena . In the league, Tangnes led the EVZ in his first year as a coach in the final series, where the team lost to Bern. After the lost final, Tangnes promised the audience in an interview with the Luzerner Zeitung that they would win the championship title, and managing director Patrick Lengwiler also emphasized that it was “only a matter of time before we become champions”.

The 2020s

In the 2020/21 season, the desired success was achieved: In qualifying, Zug was first in the table under coach Tangnes and determined the events in the league. Zug won 40 out of 52 games and set a new record with 119 points. In the final series they prevailed 3-0 against Geneva. Winning the title 23 years after the first was classified as a “great redemption” for EV Zug. The success was achieved through an "attractive, courageous and offensive game system" that Tangnes had inoculated into the team. The mainstays of the championship team included goalkeeper Leonardo Genoni , captain Raphael Diaz , Jan Kovář, classified as a “thinker and driver”, as well as Grégory Hofmann , Lino Martschini , Dario Simion , Carl Klingberg and Justin Abdelkader .

Stadion

EV Zug is located in the Bossard Arena , which has had 7,200 spectators, including 4,465 seats, since 2017. It was inaugurated for the 2010/11 season and replaced the long-standing stadium Herti .

The Herti stadium, which was used by EV Zug until 2010, was built in 1967 and at that time offered space for 8,200 spectators. The unofficial attendance record comes from the 1986/87 season, when an allegedly 10,000 spectators in the Hertistadion saw the decisive promotion game against Zürcher SC , or in 1975/76, when HC Arosa was a guest in the relegation game to the national league A , and over 9 ' 000 visitors streamed into the Herti stadium.

Women

The women of EV Zug have played in the top two performance classes in Switzerland with varying degrees of success since the 1990s. In the 1990/91 season they were promoted to performance class A , where the team was able to establish itself in the following years. In 2001, only two years after the second championship title, however, the descent to performance class B followed . Even if the club entered into a syndicate with EHC Seewen and was able to finish the season as B champions as early as 2002, it was not enough for promotion until the following year, because Lugano was a class better in the 2001/02 relegation.

After returning to the top division, the team sat at the top of the table and was able to acquire the championship title in 2004 and 2005 and was thus also a participant in the first IIHF European Women Champions Cup 2005 , the European Cup in women's ice hockey, where the team won the bronze medal . On March 13, 2007, the club announced that the women's team would be dissolved after the 2006/07 season. The lack of young talent for the women's team and the various restructuring in Swiss women's ice hockey in recent years prompted the EVZ to take this step. As a result, the team found a new home at Küssnachter SC , where it was finally disbanded in 2009.
