The Carinthian ice hockey derby is the oldest duel in Austrian ice hockey . This is the local encounter between the two Carinthian ice hockey teams EC KAC ( Klagenfurt ) and EC VSV ( Villach ), both of which are currently the oldest teams in the Austrian ice hockey league .
history
The very first derby took place in 1929. The EC VSV defeated the EC KAC 3: 1, with the Klagenfurt team having entered without hockey shoes and protectors. The official derby statistics began with the championship game on January 4, 1950. The EC KAC won 7-2 in Villach. In the first few years it was a one-sided affair for the KAC, only on January 10, 1959, the EC VSV won its first derby. It ended 3-1 for the home side in Villach. From January 30, 1963 to October 11, 1977, the supporters of both clubs had to wait for the next meeting, as the EC VSV was playing in the 2nd division at that time .
The longest winning streak that has ever been recorded in Derby history was achieved by the EC VSV with 17 consecutive wins over a period of two years and 21 days (February 18, 2005 to March 11, 2007), including a full season ( 2005/06 ) counted without defeat.
