Deutscher akad.-tech. Radfahrverein Prag
Deutscher Akademischer Technischer Radfahrverein Prag (abbreviated to D.A.T.R.V. Prag) was an ethnic German sports club situated in Prague, Bohemia, when the area was under Austro-Hungarian rule.
In the autumn of 1900, the club looked into the adoption of the sport of bandy hokey. They rented a training area within the Bubnaer racetrack. As early as November 1900, the club had two active teams in the sport. Applications were addressed to Leo Klein, Prague II, Schulgasse 3.[1]
In December 1900, several men and a lady played field hockey as training for the game of ice hockey. The ground was muddy and all involved were smeared on the face and clothing with mud. The separate sides soon became indistinguishable. The contest was boisterous with numerous rule violations.[2]
The club later went on to play some friendly bandy hockey matches. Hans Teller, one of Bohemia's bandy pioneers, captained the team from 1900 to 1905.
