history

HC Milano and HC Cortina players (1929)

In 1924 the club was founded as Gruppo Sportivo Dolomiti Cortina , later renamed Club Sportivo Dolomiti , 1929 Cortina Hockey Club and 1935 under pressure from the fascist regime as Sportivi Ghiaccio Cortina .

In the 1998/99 season, the team played in the absence of a suitable indoor ice rink in Milan, but the club's headquarters remained in Cortina. In the 1999/2000 season, the club stopped playing before it was resumed in the second-rate Serie B in 2000. Between 2002 and 2003 the Olympic Ice Stadium Cortina was roofed over and rebuilt; since then, the venue known as Nuovo Stadio Olimpico has accommodated 2,700 spectators. Due to the roofing, SG Cortina was able to participate in Serie A again from 2003 and won the championship in 2007.

With 16 championship titles , the club is the second most successful club in the history of Serie A, and SG Cortina has so far won the Coppa Italia , the Italian cup competition, three times .
