The Straubing Tigers are a German ice hockey club located in the Bavarian town of Straubing.

Despite never winning the DEL championship, the club have featured in Germany’s top league for over fifteen consecutive seasons and have made it to the playoff semi-finals and quarter-finals numerous times.

They play their games in the Eisstadion am Pulverturm which has a capacity of over 5,500. Their club colours are blue and white.

Max Pielmaier is considered the founder of ice hockey in Straubing. The then 14-year-old organised a youth team together with his friends in 1941, playing numerous games throughout and after the Second World War.

In 1947, the Straubing players joined TSV 1861 Straubing and throughout the next fifty years, the club transitioned into becoming a fully professional sporting organisation and gradually made its way up into the higher tiers of German ice hockey.

The club first qualified for the DEL in 2006 and have remained there ever since.

Originally already qualified for the 2020/21 CHL season which eventually was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022/23 season was the Tigers' debut in the Champions Hockey League after a fourth-placed regular season finish in the DEL. 

They topped their group with 15 points in six games, losing only once, but were eliminated by four-time CHL Champions Frölunda Gothenburg in the Round of 16. 

A third-place finish in the DEL in 2023/24 has secured them a place in the milestone 10th season of Europe's biggest club ice hockey competition.
