history

The Renon Luca Ansoldi (Bozner Dress) in the face-off against Flavio Faggioni

The SC Ritten (SC Renon, Oberbozen) was one of the first ice hockey clubs in Italy and took part in the Italian championship from 1929.

In the early 1980s, this club played in the third division, Serie C, while two other clubs from the Rittner Hochtal, HC Unterinn and WSV Rittnerhorn from Klobenstein, took part in the regional league.

In 1984 SC Ritten succeeded in winning the Series C championship. Thereupon the three ice hockey clubs decided to join forces and merged to form today's SV Ritten. In its second year of participation in Serie B (1985/86 season), SV Ritten won the championship and was promoted to the first division. The promotion team included Mark Stuckey .

In the following two years the club played in the A1 series. At the end of the 1987/88 season, the team around Steve Smith and Dave Jensen had to relegate bottom of the table again. In the following season of the Serie B the career of Roland Ramoser began , who played together with his father Jakob in a team.

Ritten played in the second division until the 2000/01 season before the team made it to Serie A1. Roland Ramoser returned to SV Ritten at this point. A year later, the relegation to Serie B followed, before the team made it back to Serie A in 2004.

In 2004 the first ice hockey team was outsourced to a gaming company, Ritten Sport Hockey Amateursport GmbH .

At the end of the 2005/06 season, the team was in the final of the play-offs of Serie A, where they lost 3-0 to HC Milano Vipers . Ritten was also in the finals in the 2007/08 and 2008/09 seasons, but lost both times to HC Bozen . The club won its first national title with the Supercoppa Italiana 2009. Here, the HC Bozen was defeated for the first time in a title fight.

In April 2014 the club was able to win the Italian championship for the first time ; Master coach was Rob Wilson . This success could be repeated two years later, this time under the direction of the Finnish head coach Riku-Petteri Lehtonen .

In the 2016/17 season, the club was one of the teams that took part in the premier season of the transnational Alpine Hockey League . Ritten Sport won this first season as well as the 2017 Italian championship, which was played among the best Italian teams in the league. Before the start of the new season, Ritten won the Supercoppa Italiana for the third time with an 8: 3 win against cup winners Hockey Milano Rossoblu .

Ritten Sport plays its home games in the Ritten Arena in Klobenstein , which can hold 1,200 spectators , while the ice wave in Bolzano was used during the 2010 playoffs .
