Due to the lack of interest for Ice hockey in Starnberg (the wealthiest district in Germany)  former chairman of the ESC Starnberg, Mark Nirschl founded the Geronimo Stars .

From a witty protest action Markus got the inspiration to travel to exotic countries and play hockey there. With his love for Australia, Bangkok and Singapore and his passion for traveling, and playing hockey, there was no question that this was his calling. After 6 months of organizing and planning the dream became a reality, a traveling hockey tour through Singapore, Australia and Bangkok!

After all the amazing experiences and fun games (some with more than 500 people in attendance) it was clear, the Geronimos must go on!!! Since then the Geronimo Stars have played in over 300 international exotic  ice hockey games all over the world including Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Spain, Dubai, Singapore, Bangkok, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Latvia, Italy, and the Czech Republic. And of course the travel-happy hockey players are always ready for new and exciting opportunities to travel and play the game they so love.
