'''Troppauer EV Opava''' was a sports club in [[Opava]] (in German, Troppau), [[Czechoslovakia]]. The club was founded in 1868, while the ice hockey section was created in 1908. First located within the boundaries of [[Austria-Hungary]], Troppauer EV was an ethnic-German organization that was later part of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia.

One of TEV's first games was played on January 24, 1909. It was contested as a bandy hockey match and was won by [[Wiener Sport Club]], 11-6.

The club, along with other German associations in Czechoslovakia, was affiliated with the [[Deutscher Eishockey Verband]] (DEHV). They won the [[German Association Championship]] six times - 1930, 1931, 1933, 1934, 1935, and 1936.

In 1931, Troppau, champions of the German Association, challenged the top Czechoslovak club [[LTC Praha]] to a match, effectively for the [[Czechoslovak Championship]]. Despite losing 2-0, the club left a good impression with their performance.

Four Troppauer EV players, [[Wolfgang Dorasil]], [[Wilhelm Heinz]], [[Hermann Ehrenhaft]] and [[Jan Mattern]], played for the [[Czechoslovak National Team]] during the early 1930s.

The club won the German Championship in 1936 and qualified for the [[Czechoslovak Extraliga]], playing in the league for two seasons (1936-37 and 1937-38) prior to it being put on hiatus due to [[World War II]].

After the annexation of the Sudetenland by Germany, TEV played in the [[1940 German Ice Hockey Championship]]. A combination club by the name of [[NSTG Komotau/Troppau]] (Nationalsozialistische Turngemeinde) was formed for the [[1941 German Ice Hockey Championship|1941 season]].

Under the Beneš decrees, all ethnic-German clubs and associations in Czechoslovakia were dissolved in 1945.
