[edit] About ANYANG HALLA (Franchise history)

Formed in 1994, the original name of the team was "Mando Winia", named after a sub-company of the Halla Group. It changed its name in 1998 to "Halla Winia", and was a powerhouse in the Korea Ice Hockey League, winning the league championship five times.

Once the Korea League folded, Halla Winia was the only company team that survived, absorbing talent from one of their rivals, the Dong-Won Dreams as they joined the Asia Ice Hockey League as a founding member.

With the expiry of a sponsorship contract, the Anyang Halla Winia removed the Winia (the name of an air conditioner) from their name for the 2005-2006 year.

In the spring of 2008, the head coach Otakar Vejvoda Sr. resigned and the former all time point leader Eue-Sik Shim took the position. Shim becomes the 3rd head coach in team history.

The team also hired National Hockey League commentator of SBSsports, Samuel H. Kim for the Front. Kim is in charged with North American players scout.
