They first played in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) in 2002 following three seasons of continuous finals appearances in Germany's second tier during which they battled for promotion marking the start of a new era for the club.

The team, whose traditional colours are blue and white, won the DEL championship in 2014 for the first and so far only time in their 50-year history. The team went from 9th place in the regular season all the way to the final beating accomplished sides Hamburg and Berlin on their underdog journey.
