History

HC Davos was founded in 1921. In 1923, Davos presented the first Spengler Cup, one of the oldest tournaments in sports still being played.<ref name = "Spengler">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

HC Davos was led by a forward line known as "The ni-storm" (Template:Langx) from 1933 to 1950, which included Bibi Torriani, along with brothers Hans Cattini and Ferdinand Cattini. The line was named for the last syllable (-ni) of players' surnames. The ni-storm was regarded as the top line of HC Davos and the Switzerland men's national ice hockey team from 1933 to 1950.<ref name="NI-Sturm">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Adis">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="SAIP">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Davos-HOF">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> During this time, the club won 18 Swiss championships, and six Spengler Cups.<ref name="hockeygods">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The team was relegated into 1. Liga in 1990, one of the lowest points in its history. After a new beginning, the club moved into the Swiss League, and two years later returned to the NL.
