Genève-Servette were founded in 1905, making them the oldest ice hockey club in the National League and one of the oldest in Europe. Their history even predates the foundation of the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation.
The club have enjoyed multiple short spells in the Swiss top tier throughout their history but have continuously played in the National League since 2002.
The club won their first-ever Swiss championship title in the 2022/23 season under the guidance of Jan Cadieux. The following season, the Head Coach and a star-studded line-up of players including ex-NHLers Teemu Hartikainen, Sami Vatanen and Triple Gold Club member Valtteri Filppula fought their way through the Champions Hockey League all the way to the Final where they beat Swedish club Skellefteå AIK to the title.
The Geneva-based club have also won the prestigious Spengler Cup two times.
Genève play their games in the Patinoire des Vernets which has a capacity for over 7,000 people.
