In the 2014–15 season, the Timberwolves won the 2.ÖBL but was not able to promote as it lost to UBSC Graz in the promotion playoffs. Jakob Pöltl played in the Wolves youth sections during his younger years, from 2009 to 2016.{{cite web|url=http://www.dctimberwolves.at/verein-presse/geschichte|title=Geschichte|work=www.dctimberwolves.at|access-date=31 August 2019}}
