History
EHC Vaduz was founded on 2 July 1996 after a group of amateurs began meeting to play at a rink in Widnau. The following year, the club competed in an organized league for the first time, earning fourth place in the Vorarlberg Class C. HC Schellenberg was formed in 1998 as a second club in the principality. In 2001, the clubs merged to form EHC Vaduz-Schellenberg. By 2005, the club had more than thirty active members. Between 2002 and 2006, the club competed in the Swiss league system in the 4. Liga.

Since at least 2015, the club has competed in the Vorarlberg Ice Hockey League 2. EHC Vaduz-Schellenberg defeated HC Röthis 5–4 in the final to win the league title for the 2017/2018 season. Marco Zwahlen and Matthias Bühler were named the league's best goalkeeper and scorer, respectively. The victory marked the club's second championship in three seasons under head coach Miroslav Berek. Following the death of Berek, longtime player Marco Adank took over as manager of the team.
