Innsbrucker EV

Innsbrucker Eislauf Verein is a former ice hockey team. They played their games in Innsbruck, Austria at Olympiahalle Innsbruck.

IEV was founded in 1884 and formed a bandy hockey section in 1908. It played in some friendly matches during the 1908-09 and 1909-10 seasons. The club began playing ice hockey in 1925. It joined the Austrian Ice Hockey Federation (OEHV) as a temporary member in December 1925, before securing full membership on April 8, 1926.

From 1925 to 1932, the club played exclusively in friendly matches and tournaments. With the creation of the Provincial Championship in 1932-33, IEV was placed in the 1. Klasse. They promptly won the championship and qualified for the Austrian Championship final against Wiener EV. As they were unable to travel to Vienna, IEV ceded the championship to WEV.

The club withdrew from the Provincial Championship and only took part in friendly matches from 1936 to 1938. After World War II, IEV won their first Austrian Championship in 1952-53 by defeating EC KAC in the final. They enjoyed a myriad of success during the 1950s and early 1960s, winning a total of six national titles between 1953 and 1963.

Another club from Innsbruck, EC Pradl, played alongside IEV in the Austrian Hockey League in 1969-70. The two clubs merged in 1973, forming EC Innsbruck. Innsbruck won their last national championship in 1988-89.

The 1992-93 season was IEV's last in the top-tier Austrian league. After spending the following season in the Austrian National League, and winning the league championship, the club disbanded. HC TWK Innsbruck was then formed as a successor organization.
