Rostock Piranhas are the male first team of the ''Rostocker Ice Hockey Club'', based in Rostock, Germany. The team plays in the North Section of the Oberliga (''Upper League''), the third tier of German ice hockey. The team's home ice is the Eishalle Rostock at the ''Schillingallee'' in the ''Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt'' (KTV) area of Rostock, next to DKB-Arena. ==History== Ice hockey has always been a popular sport in Germany and in Rostock. In 1955/1956, SG Dynamo Rostock were part of the DDR 1. Liga. In the 1956/57 season, the Dynamo were joined on the ice by a team from SC Empor Rostock. In the 1970s, both Dynamo and Empor had folded, to be replaced by BSG Chemie 70 Rostock. By this time, ice hockey in East Germany was very much a minority sport and BSG Chemie played very few games. The East German government minimised the amount that ice hockey was allowed to be played due to the cost. East Germany had the smallest ice hockey league in the world: two teams, Dynamo Berlin (now known as Eisbären Berlin) and SG Dynamo Weißwasser (now known as Lausitzer Füchse). After the collapse of communism in 1989, ice hockey teams began to revive and the team was officially formed on 18 July 1990. On 10 November 1990, the newly formed team took to the ice for their first game just over a month after German reunification. 〔http://piranhas.de/debuetantenliste.php〕 The team mainly found itself in the Verbandsliga (5th division) and Regionallia (4th division) levels during this time, with the team slowly growing in popularity. The team's first title came when they won the Regionalliga championship for the 1999/2000 season but ultimately they did not make the step up to the Oberliga. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rostock Piranhas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
