EV Bozen 84
Eishockey Verein Bozen 84 ('Ice Hockey Club Bolzano 84') or EV Bozen 84 was created as a junior men's ice hockey club in 1984 via the merger of four teams in the Bolzano area – SV Gries, HC Rentsch, HC Jugendclub, and Micky Maus. The club's representative team played in the Serie A2 and Serie C, the second and third levels of Italian men's ice hockey. The team's colors were blue and white and they played at the Sill Ice Sport Centre (Eissportzentrum Sill; Pista da ghiaccio Sill). Nicknamed the Old Weasels and the White Weasels, the team ceased operation in 2015 and the EV Bozen 84 representative team became a junior team. Between 2015 and 2018, the club's men's junior teams merged with those of the Hockey Academy Bolzano and the men's section of the club was dissolved.
