There is close cooperation with the not-for-profit EVL, which is still responsible for non-professional sporting competitions, i.e. junior hockey and figure skating.

As a result of the dispute, most of TGL's hockey players formed a new registered association, the “Eislaufverein Landshut” (EVL).

The driving force behind this move was Georg Zeller; other notable players of the early time were Hans Frühmorgen, Walter Rauhmeier, and Jaro Truntschka.

After prolonged negotiations, the city favored building an ice rink instead of a public pool, and with this cooperative work the Eisstadion am Gutenbergweg was completed timely for the 1957–58 season (then without roof).

Thanks to the new rink, the EVL played against international teams (e.g. Blau-Weiss Zürich, HC Bozen or HK Partizan Belgrad for the first time.

Following the season, the German league system was reformed and EV Landshut was relegated to the second division (then called Oberliga).

At the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck three EVL players joined the German national team: Alois Schloder, Erich Kühnhackl, and Klaus Auhuber.

While the team was eliminated in the 1980-81 quarterfinals, and the 1981-82 semifinals, they knocked out Mannheimer ERC in the 1982-83 finals, becoming German champions for the second time.

After surviving the 1992-93 relegation round, Landshut's management decided to invest in a punchier lineup to play for the championship, but the team was knocked out in the quarterfinals.

Due to the bleak financial situation in German professional ice hockey, the Deutsche Eishockey Liga was founded in 1994.

[12] In the 1994-95 DEL season – the first ever for the league – coach Bernie Johnston was able to keep most of the previous year's squad and strengthened it by signing NHL star Wallace Schreiber.

Furthermore, benefited the team from the 1994–95 NHL lockout more than most other DEL franchises, with Pavel Bure, Scott Young and Uwe Krupp playing shortly for the Cannibals.

Ranked second after the preliminaries, the Cannibals knocked out the Lausitzer Füchse in the round of sixteen, before defeating both Kassel Huskies and Krefeld Pinguine.

The following season the Cannibals landed José Charbonneau (top scorer with 42 goals), while Marco Sturm turned professional and scored 12 times.

In the 1995-96 playoff season they defeated the Starbulls Rosenheim in the first round and swept the Adler Mannheim, setting up another showdown with the Kölner Haie, which they lost.

The following season's team, led by top scorer Dave McLlwain, swept rival Kölner Haie, but lost to the Eisbären Berlin in the semifinals.

[12] As a result, ice hockey in Landshut had to continue on in the third-level semi-professional Oberliga after 36 seasons of top-level participation.

With the end of top-level professional ice hockey in Landshut, most of the squad left the team and continued their careers with the Munich Barons or other clubs in the DEL.

In sixth place after the preliminaries, the squad knocked out the Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg and the TSV Erding and qualified for playing the 2000/01 2nd Bundesliga season, but had to withdraw due to the cooperation contract with the Munich Barons.

After completing the 2000/01 Oberliga preliminaries in sixth place, the team was swept by the Füchse Duisburg in the playoff quarterfinal round.

Due to ongoing financial troubles – a legacy of the DEL era – the club filed for bankruptcy, while the team still was playing the preliminaries.

The Cannibals' second season in the league was even more successful: They beat the EV Duisburg, before defeating EC Bad Nauheim in the fifth and last game 3-2 SO.

Understandably management, players and fans were heavily disappointed as the team was defeated by underdog Dresdner Eislöwen in seven games.

In the 2007-08 pre-season coach Andreas Brockmann formed a powerful team consisting of Brent Walton, Brandon Dietrich, and Peter Abstreiter and kept most of the regulars.

Ben Cottreau (top-scorer with 59 points) was a lucky pull, and Tom Kühnhackl made his debut in professional hockey.

Even young forwards Tom Kühnhackl and Tobias Rieder, who left for Canada after that season, could not prevent a loss against Bietigheim in the playoff quarterfinals.

(current as of Sept. 10, 2019) Goalkeepers: Jaroslav Hübl, Philipp Maurer, Patrick Berger Defense Christian Ettwein, Stephan Kronthaler, Josh McFadden, Phillip Messing, Manuel Neumann, Elia Ostwald, Mario Zimmermann Offense: Marco Baßler, Maximilian Brandl, Robbie Czarnik, Alexander Ehl (FL), Christoph Fischhaber, Maximilian Forster, Erik Gollenbeck, Maximilian Hofbauer, Ales Jirik, Tadas Kumeliauskas, Lukas Mühlbauer, Mathieu Pompei, Marc Schmidpeter, Marco Sedlar, Luca Trinkberger Manager: Axel Kammerer [1] Many important hockey players played in Landshut or learned playing hockey there.

The first-ever German drafted for the NHL, Bernhard “Bernie” Englbrecht was a product of Landshut's system, as were the two bronze medal winners of the 1976 olympics, Klaus “Butzi” Auhuber and franchise player Alois Schloder.

Some of the most known were Sepp Schramm, Jaro Truntschka, Rudi Hejtmanek, Jiri Kochta, Bob and Robin Laycock, Helmut Steiger, Christian Brittig, Mike Bullard, Petr Briza, Wally Schreiber, Matti Hagman, Jiri Pospisil, Craig Laughlin, Bernd Truntschka and in the nearer past Kamil Toupal.
