History

The club was founded by Ali Öztaşdelen, whose children experienced problems with their ice skating club in Ankara. The two children, who performed figure skating, persuaded their father to form their own ice hockey club trusting to be successful. Five championship titles following a runner-up position right after the establishment proved this. Teammates are also friends of the two since 6–7 years of age, who are now university students. 80% of the team players are member of the Turkey women's national ice hockey team.[2] While son Umur Öztaşdelen acts as general manager of the club, daughter Gizem Öztaşdelen is a national, playing in forward position.[1]

Between 2002 and 2007, the club's activity was in the field of figure skating only. Today, Milenyum Paten is the most successful ice hockey team in the country with five league champion titles.[1] In the 2011-12 season, Milenyum Paten scored 114 goals while receiving only four in seven matches.[3]
