Spengler Cup is an annual ice hockey tournament held in Davos, Switzerland.
Spengler Cup is the second oldest international ice hockey club team tournament in the world after the Stanley Cup playoffs. The tournament, entry to which is by invitation, is hosted by the Swiss team HC Davos. The tournament is played each year in Davos, Switzerland, between Christmas and New Year's Day. It features club teams from around the world. Team Canada are the current Spengler Cup champions.
HistoryThe Cup was first awarded in 1923 to the Oxford University Ice Hockey Club, composed of Canadian students, most notably future Prime Minister of Canada Lester Pearson. The tournament was then dominated by Czechoslovakian and Soviet teams between 1965 and 1983. In 1984 Team Canada - predominantly made up of Canadians playing in Europe - began participating and has since won the Cup eleven times.
From its inception until 1978, the tournament was played on an outdoor rink. The outdoor rink still exists outside the indoor arena, and is one of the largest outdoor rinks in the world. Starting in 1978, all tournament games have been played indoors.
TrophyThe 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.
