History

Dunaferr.gif

The first hockey team in Dunaújváros was the Dunaújvárosi Kohász (Dunaújváros Metallurgy) founded in 1974. This team was sponsored by the local metalworks. They played their first match in the first division (OB I bajnokság) in 1985.

In the early '90s they changed their name to Dunaferr, because the metalworks changed it's name to Dunaferr (new owner of the company). In 2004 the Dunaferr Ltd. had financial problems, so it couldn't sponsor the team anymore. Therefore the hockey team lost its main sponsor, and couldn't pay the player's salaries. The best players of the moved over to Alba Volán Székesfehérvár and the rest of the players started to play with Dunaújvárosi AC.

Dunaújvárosi AC was an entirely new team, separate from the original, sponsored by the local government. The club also ran into financial problems and was closed down in 2006.

In 2006 Dunaújvárosi Acélbikák was founded but it has no legal connection with the so called "former clubs". Although most of the players of the Dunaújvárosi AC started to play for this team
