BHC Chronicle
Modern hockey was brought to Switzerland from England. This happened mainly through English students who studied at institutes in French-speaking Switzerland, but also through Swiss students who returned from studying in England. But not only French-speaking Switzerland discovered the sport of hockey for itself, in Basel, too, more and more people were enjoying the fast ball game with the crook. Fritz Senn, who discovered the game of hockey in a boarding school in western Switzerland and brought it to Basel, played an important role in this development. The Hockey Club Basel (HCB) was founded on June 24, 1911, and nothing stood in the way of the first hockey game in Switzerland. This took place on April 14, 1912 on the Margarethenwiese in Basel with eight against eight players between HC Basel and the team from RHC Geneva. At times the HCB was affiliated to sub-sections of Old Boys or FC Basel. In 1942 the new club name arose from the merger of the HCB and HC Old Fellows. The DHC Baslerdybli were integrated into the BHC in 1994. Two years later, the women brought the last championship bucket of a total of 31 titles (women and men) to Basel.
For the 75th anniversary of the association, a reader called BHC 1911 - 75 Years was written in 1986 . A book was published in 2011 for the 100th anniversary. In addition to the various Swiss championship and cup titles, the club's greatest sporting successes include participation in European Cup tournaments in Amiens , Cagliari and Gibraltar .

The last championship titles were celebrated by the U14 Juniors in 2014/15 both in the Indoor Championship and in the Field Championship in the Elite category, and the U17 Elite in the Indoor and Field Championship 2016/17. One of the highlights of the club year is the one-week hockey camp in Limburg an der Lahn ( Germany ).
