Spengler Cup
Encyclopedia
The Spengler Cup is an annual ice hockey tournament held in Davos
, Switzerland
. First held in 1923, the Spengler Cup is often cited as the oldest invitational ice hockey
tournament in the world. The event is hosted by the Swiss team HC Davos
and played each year in Davos, Switzerland, between Christmas
(December 25) and New Year's Day
. All the matches are played in the Vaillant Arena.
It 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
.
Eventually, the tournament grew well beyond expectations. Many of Europe's most prestigious clubs and national programs have appeared, including Soviet, Swedish and Czechoslovak powerhouses.
Among non-European organizations, Team Canada, Team USA, nationally ranked NCAA
schools, reigning Calder Cup
and Ontario Hockey Association champions, and even Team Japan (in 1971 as hosts of the upcoming Sapporo Winter Olympics
) have traveled to Davos through the years.

Temporary reinforcements
A frequent point of contention among hockey observers discussing the tournament is the use of temporary reinforcements. Since the tournament is open to both clubs and national teams, a rule exists that allows club teams to hire up to 6 additional players (5 skaters and 1 goaltender) for the duration of the competition. In practice, not all participants choose to take advantage of the rule to the same extent, and it works mostly to the host team's benefit. HC Davos, for whom the event is a significant source of income, tends to upgrade its roster with experienced talent in order to guarantee a competitive performance and maintain high interest from the Swiss audience. Other teams don't have such incentives to reinforce their squad and will often be much less selective.Trophy
The current cup consists of a golden globe supported by silver hockey sticks on a round base. The trophy is named after the founder Dr. Carl Spengler of Davos.Spengler Cup winners
