Spengler Cup history

The Spengler Cup was originally devised by Dr. Carl Spengler as a means to promote teams from German-speaking Europe, who might have suffered ostracism in the aftermath of World War I. What began as a small gathering of four club sides in the Swiss Alps grew rapidly — by 1924 the tournament had already attracted 15 teams. Over the decades, many of Europe’s most prestigious clubs and national programs have appeared, including Soviet, Czechoslovak, Swedish, German, and Finnish powerhouses. The first indoor game was held in 1978 when the tournament moved into the Eisstadion Davos, and the event has continued to grow in stature and global reach ever since.

Iconic Spengler Cup moments

For a tournament held in a small Swiss mountain town every Christmas, the Spengler Cup has produced a remarkable number of stories that live long in hockey memory.

1984 – Team Canada arrives

When Team Canada made their debut at the Spengler Cup in 1984, it signalled the beginning of a new era for the tournament. Their entry brought North American hockey to the Alpine stage for the first time and helped transform a prestigious European club competition into a truly global event. Canada won the tournament that very first year, setting the tone for what would become the most successful run in the modern history of the Spengler Cup.

1978 – Hockey moves indoors

The first indoor game was held in 1978 when the Spengler Cup moved into the Eisstadion Davos. After more than five decades played in the open Alpine air — in whatever weather December in the Swiss mountains could deliver — the shift indoors transformed the fan experience and opened the door to the modern, broadcast-friendly tournament it has become today.

2018 – KalPa’s shootout final

In 2018, Finland’s KalPa Kuopio won the first-ever shootout final in the tournament’s history. The dramatic finish gave the Finnish club their maiden Spengler Cup title in one of the most tense endings the event had seen, and added a new chapter to a tournament not short of memorable conclusions.

2025 – Davos claim the record

HC Davos defeated the U.S. Collegiate Selects 6–3 in the final of the 2025 Spengler Cup, claiming their record 17th title and breaking a tie with Team Canada. The final was locked at 3–3 heading into the third period before Czech forward Filip Zadina scored with just 4:39 remaining in regulation to break the deadlock , with two late goals sealing a thrilling victory for the hosts in front of a packed Eisstadion Davos.
