Casco Viejo de Bilbao is a former ice hockey club spanish. It will appear in the Superliga Española in 1975 and quickly became one of the leading clubs of the peninsula.

In 1978, he was the first Spanish club to take part in the European Cup of Champion Clubs' ice hockey in a clash with the Dutch club Heerenveen.

Casco Viejo's team changed its name in 1981 into Bilbao Vizcaya, which does not prevent him to continue dominate the Spanish Championship.
