It's good for our players to play at such a high level so early in the season, also to get out on the road and bond together as a group. We are playing tough teams and every point will be well-deserved.Mark Pederson (Head Coach)
Ice hockey officially started in 1964 in Esbjerg. Ever since the Esbjerg club joined the top Danish league, it has been organized under different ownership groups. Finally in 2013, a group of investors took over the professional team and Esbjerg Energy was a reality. In the three seasons played under this name, the the club has stabilized and the sport has grown in popularity in Esbjerg, culminating with a berth in the Danish Ligaen Finals in 2015 and finally a championship title in 2016 - a crown they defended in 2017. The club motto is "When we stand together!" Esbjerg shocked the CHL in their first season by beating Finnish giant IFK Helsinki, and headed to the return game against the Finns knowing the CHL Round of 32 was in sight. Despite losing, they made quite an impression.
