The Spengler Cup print products
Program & Yearbook
The Spengler Cup has two different print products that provide detailed information about the history of the tournament and the participating teams before and during the Spengler Cup. These are displayed in the ice stadium or can be obtained free of charge from the HCD fan shop.
In 2016, a yearbook series was launched for the 90th Spengler Cup, which will highlight a decade of the traditional tournament in each edition until the 100th tournament in 2028. Many exciting stories about the tournament and its protagonists. All issues are also available online.
The printed magazines of the Spengler Cup are only available in German.
Information and stories about the traditional tournament and the teams Kärpät Oulu, HC Dynamo Pardubice, Straubing Tigers, HC Fribourg-Gottéron, Team Canada and HC Davos can be found in the program for the 96th Spengler Cup Davos 2024.
The 8th yearbook of the Spengler Cup Davos tells the story of the 1990s. Team Canada dominated with five victories, the cup went twice to Färjestad from Sweden, twice to Moscow to HK Spartak Moscow and ZSKA Moscow and in 1999 to the German representative Kölner Haie. The new OC President Fredi Pargätzi also brought about a number of changes. The Swede Håkan Loob and Canada's “Mr. Spengler Cup” Andy Murray remember this glorious time, as does Lance Nethery, coach of the Cologne Sharks in 1999. Before the Spengler Cup 2024, the current teams will be presented and various personalities such as Federal Councillor Viola Amherd and Olympic champion Chiara Leone will give their views on the traditional tournament.

The 7th Spengler Cup Davos Yearbook is dedicated to the 1980s. After a phase with national teams, the Spengler Cup was once again predominantly a club tournament. Ron Wilson graces the cover. His joy when he lifted the trophy as captain of the USA Selects team in 1988 was immense. Not only the American, but also the Czech Dominik Hašek and the local Jacques Soguel have fond memories of their participation in the Spengler Cup in that decade. The interview with Paul-André Cadieux and his son Jan, the current Swiss champion coach of Genève-Servette HC, builds a bridge between that ice hockey era and what is happening on Swiss ice today

The 6th Spengler Cup Davos Yearbook looks back on the 1970s, which were characterized by the dominance of Eastern European teams and Japan's two-time participation. “Big Nedo” Václav Nedomanský, aroused enthusiasm and the later Swiss national coach Ralph Krueger tells of his deep connection to Davos, the origin of which was a skull fracture at the Spengler Cup.
Udo Kiessling, who replaced Davos' Andres Ambühl as the record player at world championships in 2022, emphasizes the importance of the Spengler Cup, as does his still-active Swiss successor.
In the 5th Spengler Cup Davos Yearbook, we look back at the 1960s. It was the time when Davos finally had an artificial ice rink, the OC was struggling with huge amounts of snow and Czechoslovaks, Russians and a Canadian team took part in the Spengler Cup for the first time. The political situation in Europe also had a major impact on the tournament in the 1960s. For example, the previous year's winners Lokomotiv Moscow were no longer invited for political reasons in 1968, and six years earlier the mayor of Davos even helped a player from Prague to leave for the West.
The 4th Spengler Cup Davos Yearbook takes a look back at the 1950s. Markus Egen, now 92, who won the 1952 Spengler Cup with EV Füssen, and 81-year-old Philippe Lacarrière, who triumphed with ACBB Paris in 1959 and 1960, have fond memories of this period. The decade produced a total of six different winners and put an end to the era of the broom men. The hard-working helpers were replaced by an ice cream machine. The cover of the 2019 yearbook is dedicated to them.
The 3rd Spengler Cup Davos Yearbook takes a look at the 1940s. This decade produced three different winners: Zurich SC, LTC Prague and Hockey Club Davos. Heinz Hinterkircher, now 96, has fond memories of this time. He was 16 years old when he made his Spengler Cup debut with Zurich SC. But in the shadow of the war, the athletes also suffered cruel fates. Czech Bohumil Modrý, one of the best ice hockey players of his time, was imprisoned in 1950.
The 2nd Spengler Cup Davos yearbook shows the upswing of the tournament in the 1930s. We feature a portrait of someone who went to ice hockey school and became a rock star. In addition, a media star remembers his grandfather, the first Swiss sports idol and Spengler Cup superstar. We present an exclusive summit meeting between two presidents and a somewhat different insight into this year's Spengler Cup teams.
The first yearbook for the 90th Spengler Cup Davos provides exciting facts and interesting stories about the early years of the tournament. We let former winners and big names from the world of sport and media have their say and give a slightly different insight into this year's Spengler Cup teams and their origins.
