However, an increase in the Bundesliga helped the Deilinghofers to stay up. Currently (season 2020/21) all federal states are represented in the Bundesliga. Already in the second season 1960/61 succeeded the first place in the NRW league. At the end of the 2019/20 season, the club was in second place in the all-time Bundesliga table with 2875 points after 53 years in the Bundesliga. In the next two years, Deilinghofen became champions of the league. Season 2010/11: After more than a decade in the 2nd division (regional and interregional), at the end of the 2010/11 season there was relegation to the 3rd division. After checking all regulations and laws, more than the required number of adults and many young people met on February 28, 1959 for the inaugural meeting in a local pub. In the autumn of 1959, a youth team started in the NRW youth league and immediately achieved the vice championship title. KG made. The origins of the club go back to EC Deilinghofen, which was founded in 1959. He was under contract with the Flyers for two years and then returned to TPS Turku in the summer of 2004, where he was active until 2009. 1967/68 was the most successful season up to that point in what was then the second-highest German division, because the Bundesliga promotion round (in which you lost the first twelve games, but later became a “favourite fright”) was reached for the first time.
We actually rented bikes in one day and cycled to Port Saplaya, a small winding harbor surrounded by many colorful houses. A majority of the voting rights can be transferred to such companies. The new name was chosen with an absolute majority of ice hockey club Deilinghofen (short ECD), since this name was already used in the games before. The intention was actually to function as a subdivision of the "Kanu-Segel-Clubs Hemer" even before the first games, but this plan failed, among other things, due to the lack of insurance cover. In 1954, they built an ice rink there in order to be able to play ice hockey. The club was officially founded in 1994 and outsourced to the Iserlohn Roosters GmbH with the promotion to the German Ice Hockey League in 2000. Another serious upheaval followed in 1971: the Canadians were withdrawn from Deilinghofen, the main operator of the 1,200-spectator hall was missing because ice hockey for the newly stationed Englishmen The nationwide newspaper Die Welt devoted a lengthy article to the Sauerland region, in which the young team was dubbed "Canadians from Sauerland". Both times, however, promotion was missed due to defeats against the southern champions, so that the ECD 1964/65 was titled "unpromotable".
The three Bundesliga years brought big financial problems, but after two years in the second division and fourth place in the Bundesliga promotion round of the 1981/1982 season, they managed to get promoted again at the green table. Before the top game against the second Cologne EK they were one point ahead of place 1. The Domstädter won 7:3 and could therefore look forward to a preliminary decision in the fight for promotion. Deilinghofen rose to the premier league with a one-point lead over Cologne's EK. After the first full season in Iserlohn, satisfaction prevailed: higher spectator numbers (the highest in the whole league) brought more money, which resulted in very good new purchases in all positions, so that the ECD with Jiří Hanzl for the first time under a full-time coach in reached third place in the Oberliga. After three years in the Oberliga, they were promoted again in the 1999/2000 season, but despite finishing 11th they had to be relegated immediately due to another league reform. In the second division you were always at least fourth place in the next few years. After the end of the 1981/1982 season, the DEB was desperately looking for a club that would fill the vacant place in the upper house as a replacement for the bankrupt Berliner SC.
After finishing school, he began training in hotel management, but he didn't last long. Before the summer break, the West German Championship was played against Cologne, Preussen Krefeld, Krefeld EV, Düsseldorf and Dortmund, which the Sauerland team won. In the 1928/29 season, Borussia Dortmund could neither qualify for this nor for the 1st district class, so that BVB was third class in 1929/30. The only loss of points this season was reported in the press as a "battle at the horse tower"; fights among the fans and punctured tires on the cars of the Deilinghofeners determined the picture. The DEB could not find a replacement for weeks because Heinz Weifenbach, the chairmen of the EV Füssen, ERC Schwenningen and Duisburger SC, i.e. those clubs that had completed the promotion round to the first Bundesliga in the 1981/82 season before the ECD, swore not to give in to DEB’s advocacy and to remain in the second Bundesliga like the ECD The villagers quickly became interested in this sport, which was unfamiliar to them, and so they promptly started playing games on frozen ponds or in the streets. Financially, this season was less successful, and this negative trend continued for the next three years, as the sporting results were again only average, which was partly due to the fact that the Deilinghofer only had very short training times.
