Ice hockey is a popular sport in Switzerland and is as popular as football . Every year, the top division clubs compete for the Swiss championship title .

As early as 1904, an international bandy tournament, declared as a "championship", took place in Davos , which was won by the Princes Ice Hockey Club from London . The French-speaking Switzerland Ice Hockey Federation, founded in 1904, held a championship in 1907 and 1908, both of which were won by HC Bellerive Vevey .

From 1916 to 1933, in addition to the national championship , which was subject to restrictions on foreigners, an international championship without restrictions on foreigners was held. The clubs were able to participate in both championships, with the national championship titles being used for statistics.

Since the season 1937/38, the National League A , which today National League A is, established itself as a top flight in Switzerland. In the 1985/86 season, the Swiss champions were first determined in the playoffs .
