Ice Hockey

Ice hockey is just as popular in Switzerland as football. When the thickly padded players sweep across the ice, the number of spectators is high and the media is present. Professional leagues are the National League and the Swiss League. The Swiss men's national ice hockey team is in seventh place in the current IIHF world rankings and the women's national ice hockey team is in third place. Incidentally, the first ice hockey club in Switzerland was founded in 1905 in the famous Swiss watchmaking town of La Chaux-de-Fonds.
