History
The club was founded in 1941.
Nordsjælland Cobras
The Nordsjælland Cobras was the elite team for Rungsted Ishockey Klub and played in the top Danish ice hockey league AL-Bank Ligaen. After filing for bankruptcy at the end of the 2009-2010 season, the team was excluded from the following season.
They changed name from the Rungsted Cobras to the Nordsjælland Cobras in 2004, but they are still based in Rungsted. The team won the Danish national championship in 2003.
According to the club, the shortfall is due to sponsorship money that has not been paid due and the current economic crisis has left club owners unable to cover the shortfall. In an effort to help, Cobras' arch-rival Rødovre Mighty Bulls has announced it will play an exhibition game during the national team break (now through February 10) against the Cobras, with all proceeds going to the Cobras. On 7 April 2011 they announced that they will delay their comeback to AL-Bank Ligaen by a year.
The team plays their home games at the Rungsted Skøjte Arena, a state-of-the-art facility that can hold up to 2,000 spectators. The team's colors are blue and white, and their logo features a stylized letter "R" with a hockey stick.
Rungsted Ishockey has a dedicated fan base and is known for their fast-paced, exciting style of play. The team has a strong roster of talented players, both Danish and international, who are committed to bringing success to the team.
Overall, Rungsted Ishockey is a respected and competitive team in the Danish Ice Hockey League, and they continue to strive for excellence both on and off the ice.
