On April 4, 1995, the Lausanne Hockey Club wrote a very beautiful page in its history by masterfully gaining access to the National League A. In an overheated ice rink and in front of more than 11,000 excited fans, the Lions of the time were brilliantly imposed against their opponent in the final, Grasshopper Club Zürich. In a decisive match dominated by a score of 8-0, the entire LHC community was able to experience a true moment of joy, happiness and memories engraved for life in their hearts.
Under the leadership of Beat Kindler, the Marsupilami and emblematic figure of the club, an Organizing Committee was formed to enthusiastically celebrate the 30th anniversary of this climb. The event will take place during the weekend of February 21 and 22, 2025 with two highlights: the team presentation and a support meal.
