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.
