Olympic Ice Sport Centre

It had been here at first. Before all other venues in the Olympic Park. Back in 1967 the Olympic Ice Stadium had been opened, long before the construction works for the Summer Olympic Games began, at a time, when there were still planes taking off and landing at the here located airfield of the Oberwiesenfeld. The Olympic Ice Stadium became the stage for many enthralling showdowns of Germany’s Ice Hockey Team facing top-class opponents like Russia or Canada, the Czech Republic or Sweden. Over the decades it has also been home ground for the top flight Munich Ice Hockey teams like the EHC 1970, EC Hedos, the Munich Barons and EHC Red Bull Munich. Its versatility has been proved not only by hosting the Olympic Boxing in 1972 but also by the Basketball team of Bayern Munich which used the arena as their temporary venue between 2010 and 2011.
