2023 | Wohlwends mocks Dubé

Ajoie coach Christian Wohlwend is annoyed by his counterpart Christian Dubé and can no longer control himself. He used gestures to indicate that the Gottéron trainer was crying and then joked about his hairstyle and penchant for chicken outfits.

2023 | “There must be more for 700,000”

In the first match of the quarter-finals between Lugano and Servette, Julian Walker tried to provoke Geneva star Tanner Richard. “They didn’t want you anymore!” he shouted, mockingly referring to his alleged annual salary: “There must be more for 700,000. Much more!” Richard sent back a few lines – becoming the most prominent figure in the series and later winning the title.

2023 | Crawford’s “Cocksucker”

When referee Mikko Kaukokari refused to check the remaining playing time on the match clock, ZSC coach Marc Crawford made a homophobic blunder in the home defeat against Biel. He loudly insulted the Finn as a “bastard” (in German: “Schwanzslutscher”). For this he was suspended for one match by the league. The Canadian seemed contrite at the time. “I failed miserably,” he said. “I was socially irresponsible.”

2022 | Wohlwend’s triple bottle throw

The then Davos coach Christian Wohlwend threw not one, not two, not three bottles on the ice out of anger. Earlier, EV Zug scored the decisive 2-1 in the second semi-final match, mind you, 15 seconds before the end of regular playing time. HCD defender Zgraggen was in the penalty area. According to Wohlwend, this is wrong.

2021: “Fust is embarrassing”

After the match against Lausanne, ZSC coach Rikard Grönborg insulted his counterpart John Fust and asked him to “tête-à-tête”. The Swede later said: “He can’t control his team. It’s humiliating. And he’s embarrassing too. He shouldn’t be a coach! It’s not just this one game. It’s a culture there. A shame.” The match at the Hallenstadion escalated in the middle third when Lausanne captain Mark Barberio struck Lions top scorer Garrett Roe on the head with a cross-check.

2021: ZSC and Zug trainers clashed

Grönborg again. After the second third, the ZSC Swede got into an argument with Dan Tangnes, the Norwegian trainer of the EVZ. The two got into a verbal skirmish in Swedish on the way to the locker room. Grönborg accused the inhabitants of Zug of making swallows.

2019 | “You’re a piece of shit”

On the punishment benches in Davos, Anton Rödin and Bern’s nonsense king Thomas Rüfenacht forgot that they were not alone. They insulted and provoked each other loudly. “Fuck you! You’re a piece of shit! I’ll cut you into pieces if you do that again,” shouted the HCD Swede after the Bernese hit him between the legs with a stick.

2018 | Cervenka angered Lapierre

Lugano’s Canadian Maxim Lapierre let off steam in the play-offs after an alleged swallow by Fribourg’s Roman Cervenka in front of the cameras on the team bench: “I’m going to score a goal now! And your team is going to go down because of you! Just because of you! That’s karma. You’ll see!” All that was heard from the Czech was: “Shut up, you bastard!”

Lapierre in trash talk: “Look, I’m going to score a goal thanks to you.”(00:23)

2016 | Shedden and the ‘little’ Leuenberger

At the play-off final between Lugano and Bern, after brawls on the ice, there was also a lot of excitement on the benches. Lapierre competed against Tristan Scherwey and the later champion coach Lars Leuenberger. And Lugano coach Doug Shedden also intervened and pointed out to Leuenberger (1.72 m) how small he was with his index finger and thumb.

2015 | Kienzle’s threat

Lugano defender Lorenz Kienzle verbally attacked Canadian Chris DiDomenico during the Spengler Cup, threatening: “I’ll fucking kill you!” (in German: “I’m going to fucking kill you”). For this he was fined 500 francs.

2015 | Crawford: “Hey Hollywood!”

In the quarter-finals of the play-offs, coach Marc Crawford went crazy on Biel after a scuffle broke out on the ice in the final third. The ZSC Canadian climbed to the plexiglass wall and shouted to coach Kevin Schläpfer: “Hey Hollywood! Look at me! Shut your mouth! Let the players play! Look at yourself, Hollywood!” And with a gesture he tried to mock the hair of the Basel resident, who had dressed up as a movie star at the start of the play-offs.

2014 | Boucher insulted referees with impunity

Then-SCB coach Guy Boucher, who worked for Team Canada in 2014, escaped unpunished at the traditional tournament in Davos when he insulted referee Stefan Eichmann. “You’re an idiot,” he shouted three times in a row at the top of his lungs. “Now you’re the star here, but the spectators came to see hockey, not you.”
