The team was founded in 1972, after the construction of the Pista de Gel. The first game was played on September 15, 1972 against a team from the US Navy, anchored in the Port of Barcelona, the team won 7-5. The first title was the Spanish Cup in 1976. In the mid-eighties decade, the senior team was disbanded leaving only the junior team. In 1986, the Spanish Hockey Federation decided to apply the same decision taken by the Catalan club and not carry out the high-level competition. In that season FC Barcelona won the Championship for players under 20 years of age. In the National Cup organized for players under 20 years of age, Barça lost in the final against Puigcerdà. In 1990 the club came back to top competition, and after that, won the league and the Spanish Cup in the 1996-97 season completing a double.[1] Since then the club enjoyed many successes winning 4 league titles and 2 Copa del Rey.
