The DEC Salzburg Eagles are an Austrian ice hockey club in the European Women's Hockey League (EWHL). They play in Salzburg, Austria at the Eisarena Salzburg.
The club was founded as EC The Ravens Salzburg in 2001 and was the first women's ice hockey enterprise established in Salzburg. It was renamed Damen Eishockey Club (DEC) Salzburg Eagles in 2010.
The Ravens gained promotion to the Dameneishockey-Bundesliga (DEBL) at the end of their first season, 2001–02. They made their DEBL debut in the 2002–03 season and continued in the league for the 2003–04 and 2004–05 seasons.
In 2005, they left the DEBL to join the multi-national Elite Women's Hockey League (EWHL; renamed European Women's Hockey League in 2019).
The Austrian championship title was awarded to the winner of the DEBL playoffs until a separate tournament for the Austrian national ice hockey championship was introduced in the 2005–06 season.
