Lausanne Hockey Club were founded in 1922 in Switzerland's 4th largest city - Lausanne. The Vaudoise arena, their home arena, has a capacity of 9,600 and was constructed as part of the city’s bid for the 2020 IIHF World Championship.

After success in the first half of the 20th century, where the club were regulars in the Swiss top flight, they suffered relegation to the second tier (National League B) in 1957 and spent the majority of the second half of the 20th century there. They managed a few short spells in Switzerland's top league but never sustained participation. 

The early 2000s saw a rise in form - the club were regarded as one of the best in National League B and regularly fought for promotion. Their long sought-after reward finally came in the 2012/13 season when they not only won the National League B championship, their 7th in club history but most importantly earned promotion to the National League for the 2013/14 season where they have remained ever since.

The Swiss club have played in two past Champions Hockey League seasons. In their debut season on Europe's biggest club ice hockey stage, Lausanne topped their group and made it all the way to the Quarter-Finals where they were eliminated by Luleå Hockey. 

Their second season was in 2021/22 where they finished third in a competitive Group C and missed out on the Playoffs.
