The TSV however continued to field an amateur side. With the end of professional ice hockey in Kempten in 2004, the TSV once more became the only club in the city. From 2004, the team played in the Landesliga (V) for three seasons, after winning the Bavarian Bezirksliga (VI) championship and gaining promotion. In April 2007 it was decided to form a new, semi-professional side, the ESC Kempten and Kotterns ice hockey department joined the new club, ending almost 60 years of tradition at the TSV.

Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or department:
“In vain produced, all rays return;
Evil will bless, and ice will burn.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
