Seewen's Zingel rink: natural ice from 1951, artificial ice from 1977, a timber hall since 1998
The EHC Seewen was founded on 19 January 1951 with Paul Kistler as its first president. The club first made natural ice on the Lauerzersee, then chose a site above the Strandbad Seewen, where the Eishalle Zingel stands today. The ground was levelled in summer 1951 and the first games were played there the following winter, after laborious ice preparation.
The Kunsteisbahn Zingel was officially opened on 10 September 1977. Years of gradual expansion followed, and in 1983 it was roofed for the first time with the legendary Sarna tent. The tournament called Chämiloch drew 127 teams in 1997, a world record that earned an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. Today's hall, a timber construction, went up in 1998 and was rebuilt in 2006; it belongs to KEB Zingel AG.
The club merged with SC Herti-Zug in 1998 and reverted to EHC Seewen after relegation in 2004. In 2017 it won promotion to the MySports League with a 3:4 away win in Arosa, and its veterans were Swiss champions in 2022 and 2023.
