History

Initially, during the 1990s, the Slovenian Cup was awarded to the best team in the first part of the Slovenian Ice Hockey League season. [1] In the 1999–2000 season, the cup was contested for the first time as a single-elimination tournament. However, the final four, which was scheduled to be played at the new Zalog Arena in Ljubljana, was not held. [1] Instead, the winner was declared during the Rudi Hiti Summer League, an annual ice hockey tournament, and was contested by Olimpija and HK Jesenice. [1] The first official and completed season as recognized by the Ice Hockey Federation of Slovenia was contested during the 2015–16 season, and was won by Olimpija. [1] In the next season, the final between Olimpija and HDD Jesenice was not played due to scheduling conflicts. [2]
