The Videoland Hunters were founded as the Chien-hong Men's Basketball Team. The team's motto of Freedom, Greatness and Mars (God of War) has carried it through two decades in which it has consistently been among the highest finishers in its league.
Videoland purchased Chien-hong in 2004 and renaming it the Videoland Hunters a month later. The team took to the court as the Hunters for the first time in October 2004, finishing second among seven teams in the Oligo Million tournament with a 4-3 record. During 2005 the team made it into post-season play with a record of 18 V12, but after a strong start the team faltered and finished in third place with one win and two losses. Although the Hunters missed the championship game, they won the respect and admiration of players and fans throughout Taiwan. During the summer break in 2005 Chou Hai-rong took the reins as head coach of the team, with Chung Chih-mong serving as technical advisor. The coaching adjustment is another step toward the goal of coming out on top in the second season of full play for the re-vamped SBL league.

Famous quotes containing the word hunters:
“Boys and bad hunters had known what to do
With stone and lead to unprotected glass:
Shatter it inward on the unswept floors.”
