Dundee Ice Arena is home to the Dundee CCS Stars & The Dundee Tigers
Dundee Stars History
 Founded in 2001, the Dundee Texol Stars ( now Dundee CCS Stars) won the Findus British National League (FBNL) and the Playoffs in their first season (2001-02) and then ranked 2nd in the FBNL, top their playoff group and reached the semi-finals of the challenge cup the following season. Stars' third season was a disappointment with low league positions and only managed the final of the Capital Cup. Season 04-05 was disappointing for all three Scottish teams in the BNL (no longer sponsored by Findus). The National Cup, the Keyline Cup and the Challenge Cup were no better.
However, the Stars won the Playoffs and fared well in the Caledonia Cup too.
Season 05-06 the BNL ended, Edinburgh Capitals were accepted into the Elite League but Stars refused to go if Fife Flyers were not allowed to join them. Fife's ice rink did not meet the Elite League standards and Flyers and Stars were relegated to the Scottish National League (SNL) and so had to sell or release all their imports. Fife won the SNL with Stars 3 points behind in 2nd. Flyers also won the Autumn Cup, the Northern League and the SNL Playoffs.
Season 06-07 introducted the NHL style Zero Tolerance rules and the one import rule making the SNL a more skillful league. The Stars have relied heavily on their junior development with many Under 19s and some Under 16s "playing up" as well as managing to secure the services of two of the "old" favourites, Jeff Marshall (Canada) and Patric Lochi (Italy).
Dundee Tigers History
 The first Dundee Tigers team was founded in 1938. The Tigers played in the Scottish National League from 1946 to 1954, and in the British National League from 1954-55. The team was based at Kingsway Rink, and wore a blue, red and white strip. The Tigers won the Scottish National League in 1938-39, 1939-40 and 1948-49. The original Tigers last played in 1955.
A second Dundee Tigers team was founded in 1987. They played in the British Hockey League Premier Division 1987-88, before being renamed the Tayside Tigers in 1988. Again, they played at Kingsway Rink in blue, red and white.
The Dundee Tigers played in the Scottish Under-21 League in the late 1990s.
The present Dundee Tigers have played in the Scottish National League since 2000. They are based at the Dundee Ice Arena along with the Dundee Stars, and play in white, gold and black. The Tigers won the Scottish National League 2000-01.
