History

Founded in 1942, until its dissolution in 1972, Espanyol was one of the main teams in the Catalan and Spanish roller hockey. Before the creation of the Spanish League, the club was the great dominator of the Catalan League, with 15 titles won and also eleven National Cups.

Two months later, the Association confirmed that Espanyol will start competing in the 2017–18 fifth tier, but it would be possible to start playing in the Spanish second division.
