Tatra Cup

The Tatra Cup (Slovak: Tatranský pohár) is an annual ice hockey tournament held in Poprad, Slovakia.

In later years international teams started to participate as well, e.g. Kölner EC in 1969.

One year later for the first time a Swedish team played at the Tatra Cup – Surahammars IF, together with German SC Riessersee.

When a new ice hockey stadium was built in Poprad in 1973, conditions for the organization of the tournament improved considerably.

In the anniversary year of the tournament 1979 a hockey club from East Germany Dynamo Weißwasser was invited.
