History

The hockey team was founded in 1951 as CCA București and existed alongside other sections (e.g. football, handball, basketball) in the Steaua București sports club. In 1961, their name was changed to CSA Steaua București. With 40 championship titles and 33 cup victories, Steaua is the most successful ice hockey team in Romania.
