About club
Hockey Club Bolzano is a true institution for our sport on the Italian national territory. Indeed, with its 90-year history, it represents the most successful team in Italy, being able to boast important successes inside and outside national borders and counting among its ranks some legendary players, in some cases among the most iconic of their eras: one example above all is that of the Czech champion Jaromír Jágr, who wore the red and white jersey in 1994.
The connection with the city of Bolzano has always been solid. During these 90 years, this sport and these colours have united fans and supporters, regardless of language group or ideology. A passion that, especially in recent years, has been spreading throughout the territory and beyond. In fact, there are many fans who come from all over northern Italy to enjoy the Foxes games.
In 2013 the HCB left the Italian Serie A and joined the EBEL (now ICE Hockey League), a Central European league that over the years has welcomed teams from Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Czechia and Croatia. Right from the start, the Foxes have confirmed themselves among the leaders of this league: in ten seasons the club can claim four finals played, two of which it won in 2014 and 2018, and no less than five Champions Hockey League qualifications.
