History

HC Thurgau emerged from the merging of clubs EHC Frauenfeld and EHC Weinfelden. With the best players of the two ice hockey clubs, both located in Canton Thurgau, were to play as HC Thurgau. With the ideal to offer hockey fans a better regional ice hockey team to compete in the national league, the club was founded in 1989. In December 1993, the EHC Kreuzlingen also merged to join HC Thurgau.[1]

The club started its first season in 1989–90 in the Swiss 1. Liga, the third highest ice hockey league in Switzerland. Two years later, with a 8–7 finals victory against SC Langnau, Thurgau claimed its first amateur title and was promoted to the National League B.

gollark: Probably. They could be really light and small, or only use the sail to very slightly supplement the ion drive occasionally. Or just be very slow.
gollark: Maybe the sail bit could also be switchable in little bits instead of the whole thing at once, for very limited steering and communication.
gollark: Maybe space *bees* use solar sail propulsion, laser propulsion or ion engines depending on circumstance (the sail bit is switchable between reflective and photovoltaic somehow), and space *moths* use the thermal thing.
