It formerly played at the Olympic Ice Skating Centre (OISC) in Oakleigh South, a suburb of Monash which in turn is part of the Melbourne metropolitan area. They won their first premiership in 2010. The Ice are sponsored by Medibank.
The Melbourne Ice was established in 2000 by Mark Weber after the initial three AIHL teams asked Weber to start a team in Melbourne. The Ice spent two years playing exhibition matche] and researching prospects at the Olympic Ice Skating Centre in Oakleigh South, Victoria. Weber was named foundation chairman and president when the Ice were accepted into the AIHL in April 2002.[1] The Ice joined the Australian Ice Hockey League as part of a three-team expansion of the league, along with Newcastle North Stars and Western Sydney Ice Dogs.[2]
