With the ban on the Social Democratic Labor Party in Austria on February 12, 1934, all affiliated hockey clubs were banned. As a result, players of the workers' clubs tried to be included in other ice hockey clubs or to found new clubs in the civic camp. Thus, in December 1934, the Association for Sport and Physical Culture of the Trade Union Confederation was started. So reported the sports Tagblatt on December 20, 1934 about a new ice hockey club Hammerbrotwerke. Also the ice hockey section Arsenal in the trade union federation, which was taken up in January 1935, belongs to it, as well as the ice hockey club Meidling.
