The '''Kölner Haie''' (Cologne Sharks) are an ice hockey club based in [[Cologne]], [[Germany]] that plays in the [[Deutsche Eishockey Liga]]. The team was one of the founding members of the DEL.

The Kölner Haie play their home games at the [[Lanxess Arena]] (previously known as the Kölnarena), which opened in 1998, located in [[Cologne-Deutz]].  With room for 18,650 spectators, the Lanxess Arena is amongst the biggest multi-functional arenas in Europe, and the Haie have the second highest average attendance in European ice hockey behind Swiss team [[SC Bern]].
