Resurrection of the Swiss Cup
01 Oct 2014 | Andreas Reiner
After disappearing for 42 years, the Swiss Hockey Cup celebrates it’s comeback.
In 1972 Genève-Servette won the last Cup in a two game series against
HC Ambri-Piotta. For this years edition, all 22 National League A and B Clubs
qualified automatically while the 10 League 1 teams went through qualification games.
The winner of each game advances to the next round. The lower seeded teams have
the home advantage and for the first round, the games allow local derbys which should be
quite interesting for both the fans and players. Here are the pairings of
tonight’s games:
