The Sion HC (previously HC Sion and HC Sion-Nendaz 4 Vallées ) was a Swiss ice hockey club from Sion (French: Sion ), which was founded in 1938 and regularly participated in the National League B in the 1960s and 1970s . In 1967 the HC Sion took part in the promotion games to the National League A after finishing second in the NLB-West relay.
Since relegation to the third division in 1979, the club's first team shuttled between third (1st division) and fourth division (2nd division). In 2013, HC Sion merged with HC Nendaz to form HC Sion-Nendaz 4 Vallées . In 2014 and 2015 the club tried to move up from the 1st division back to the NLB.
In the 2017/18 season, the club played in the new MySports League (third highest division). After the season, the HC Red Ice Martigny-Verbrier-Entremont and the HC Monthey-Chablais merged to form HC Valais-Chablais . The first team of the HCV plays in Martigny, while the second team is based in Sion. This team has been known as HCV Sion since the 2019/20 season.
