The team was founded in 1985 as Thessaloniki Penguins. In 1989, they joined the Aris Thessaloniki sports club and being known as the Aris Thessaloniki Penguins, they managed to win the first 3 Greek Ice Hockey Championships held, the inaugural Greek championship in 1989, and continued their dominance, winning the 1990 and 1991 Greek championships. They also participated in the 1990–91 IIHF European Cup. They finished in last place in Group A, losing 26–1 to Levski-Spartak Sofia, and 30–0 to HC Steaua Bucuresti. After a last-place finish in 1993, the club folded, likewise to most other ice hockey clubs, due to financial difficulties, and the championship was cancelled until 2000. In 1997, the club was reformed as Thessaloniki Titans and in 2003 joined again Aris as the Aris Thessaloniki Ice Hockey Club. Since then, they participated in 2010, finishing 2nd and in 2011 winning again the tournament. == Season-by-season record ==
