EV Landshut, also known as EVL Landshut Eishockey and formerly known as the Landshut Cannibals, are a professional ice hockey team based in Landshut, Bavaria, Germany. They currently play in DEL2,[1] the second level of ice hockey in Germany. They were promoted from the third-tier Oberliga[2] in 2019 after winning the Oberliga finals against the Tilburg Trappers.[3]

The team was founded in 1948 as Eislaufverein Landshut (EVL), but from 2002-2013 the professional team was organized as the Landshut Cannibals. The EVL was still responsible for non-professional areas, i.e. junior hockey. The club dropped the "Cannibals" moniker in 2013.

From 1963 to 1994 the team was a participant in the Ice hockey Bundesliga and is a founder member of the DEL. The team celebrated two German Championships (in 1970 and 1983) – their greatest success so far.

The home arena of the club is the Eisstadion am Gutenbergweg (hockey arena at the Gutenbergweg), where they have played since 1957. The arena has since been renovated several times and currently holds 6,750 people.[4]
