Spengler Cup
From Free net encyclopedia
The Spengler Cup, which was first awarded in 1923 to a team of Canadian Students from Oxford University, is the oldest international ice hockey club team tournament in the world. 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.
The tournament was dominated by Czechoslovakian and Russian teams between 1965 and 1983. In 1984 Team Canada began participating and has since won the Cup 10 times. The Canadian team is usually made up of Canadian nationals playing in Switzerland. Since the NHL opened its doors to Eastern European players in the 1990s teams from that part of the world have been less successful than in previous decades.
