The Hannover Scorpions are a professional ice hockey team, which plays in the Oberliga, Germany's third tier ice hockey league. They previously played in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga from 1996 to 2013.
History
Founded in 1975 as ESC Wedemark, the team was renamed Wedemark Scorpions in their first DEL season in 1996 after the rock band Scorpions, who also call Hanover, Lower Saxony their home. The next season, the Scorpions relocated to Hanover proper and began playing their home games at TUI Arena in 2000.
Despite playing in the region's top venue, as well as enjoying sizeable corporate and political support, the team has struggled to generate sustained interest in Hanover.
Before relocating there in 1997, the Scorpions played their home games in Mellendorf, a small town located 20 km north in Wedemark township. They were actually considered rivals of Hanover. Thus, many local fans resented their longtime foe taking over the Hanover market at the expense of the city's historic hockey team, the less-favored Indians, and refused to support the Scorpions. []
With the club stricken by financial problems at the conclusion of the 2012–13 season, the Scorpions were forced to sell their DEL license to 2nd Bundesliga club the SERC Wild Wings on June 14, 2013. The Scorpions were then placed in the Oberliga, Germany's third tier league.
The team's home arena is the TUI Arena, which has a seating capacity of over 10,000 spectators. The Scorpions have a strong fan base and are known for their passionate and enthusiastic supporters.
The team's logo features a scorpion, which is a nod to the team's name. The team's colors are black, yellow, and white.
The Hannover Scorpions have won several championships throughout their history, including the DEL championship in 2010. The team has also had several successful seasons in the European Champions Cup, reaching the final in 1997 and winning the tournament in 1999.
The Scorpions have had several notable players throughout their history, including former NHL players Marco Sturm and Ron Pasco. The team's current roster features a mix of experienced veterans and young up-and-coming players.
Overall, the Hannover Scorpions are a highly respected and successful ice hockey team with a passionate fan base and a rich history of success.
