from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

history

The club rose in early October 1981 to the national roller hockey league A after the club was able to prevail in the promotion games against HC Etoile Montreux. While the club, which played its home games on the Zelgli , was able to hold onto sixth in the league in its first season, things then went less well in 1983 and the club rose again from the top division with only one point at the end of the relegation round. At the latest three seasons later, the club was no longer represented in the National League B.

The club later turned to floorball and also had its own junior teams. The team played in the lower leagues. In the 1990s, the club also played in inline hockey in the National League A (FIRS).

At the annual meeting of the Winterthur Sport umbrella association in March 2007, the association's withdrawal from the association was announced. An indirect successor to the club is the UHC Wild Pigs Wyland floorball club, which also plays in the lower leagues and was founded in August 2005 when the RSCW only had one active member on the board. With their name, the Wild Pigs refer to the wild boar that the RSC Winterthur had in its coat of arms.
