Hockey Unterland Cavaliers are an Italian professional ice hockey team based in Neumarkt/Egna. The club is currently a member of the Alps Hockey League and plays their home games at the Würth Arena.
History
After the dissolution of HC Neumarkt-Egna in 2018,[1] the city was without a professional ice hockey team until the foundation of Hockey Unterland in 2019.[2] The Cavaliers began as members of the Italian second league and were able to quickly ascent despite the upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In just its second season, Unterland finished second in the regular season while the next year saw the club win the league championship. With a great deal of confidence in the team, Unterland moved up to the Alps Hockey League, the spiritual successor to the Italian first league.
Unterland didn't skip a beat in their first year in the AHL, finishing second in the regular season. However, the team stumbled come playoff time and they were bounced out in the Quarterfinals. After that, the club flagged for the next two years and ended up missing the postseason entirely in 2025.
