History

edit

In 1986, the handball division was separated from the ATSV Hard club, and subsequently the independent club HC 86 Hard was founded. Under the guidance of coach Zoltán Balogh, HC Hard reached the Austrian top flight in the 1997/98 season. In the 2002/03 season, HC Hard won the Austrian Championship for the first time under the guidance of coach Frank Bergemann. In the 2004/05 season, the club won its first victory in the Austrian Cup. The club moved to its new home in the Sporthalle am See[1] in 2005. The club won the championship 7 times in total (2003, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2021), the cup 4 times (2005, 2008, 2014, 2018) and the Super Cup 5 times (2012, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021). In 2007/08, HC Hard reached the final of the EHF Challenge Cup, but won the final against Romanian UCM Sport Reșița with a score of 54:47 on aggregate.[2]
