The Swiss Cup is the national cup competition in Switzerland . It was originally contested from 1957-1966. In September 2012, it was announced that the cup would be resumed for the 2014-15 season , with 12 teams from the National League A , 10 from the National League B , and an additional 10 more from the 1. Liga . The qualification round for 1. Liga teams began in October 2013.
History [ ] The Swiss Cup was founded in 1957 at the behest of M. Walder, the vice president of the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation and the donor of the cup's trophy. The first two editions were won by the Young-Sprinters Hockey Club of the NLA. The 1959 edition was won by Genève-Servette HC , the first and only champion to come from the second-tier National League B. They defeated the defending champion Young Sprinters 7-3 at their home rink - Patinoire des Vernets - in front of a record crowd of 11,820 spectators. The ZSC Lions captured the cup in 1960 and 1961, defeating HC Viège both times. There was a different winner each year between 1962 and 1966, with HC Ambrì-Piotta , the HC Neuchâtel Young Sprinters, EHC Visp , SC Bern , and Grasshopper-Club Zürich taking the cup respectively.
The competition was cancelled by the Swiss Ice Hockey Association after the 1966 edition, as they desired to put greater emphasis on the National League A. It was briefly resurrected as the Swiss National League Cup in 1972.
