1935–36 Tatra Cup

The 1935-36 Tatra Cup was the 10th and 11th edition of the tournament.

There were two tournaments, national (also known as the Pohár Palace sanatoria) and international (also known as the Cena riaditeľa J. Cittu). The national tournament was intended to be held from December 25-27, 1935, in Poprad, Novy Smokovec, and Tatranska Lomnica, while the international tournament was staged from January 18-19, 1936, in Strbske Pleso.

The national tournament was not completed, and AC Sparta Praha won the international tournament.

The Cup of Prime Minister Milan Hodža was later played in Novy Smokovec and Stary Smokovec on February 1 and 2, 1936. HC Tatry won the tournament.

National Tournament

The preliminary round was intended to be divided into three groups, scheduled to played at the three different locales on December 25 and 26. Group I (Novy Smokovec): Ski Klub Bratislava, VS Bratislava, ŠK Banská Bystrica, ŠK Spišské Podhradie, HC Tatry II. Group II (Poprad): HC Tatry I, AC Spišská Nová Ves, Juventus Topoľčany, ŠK Martin, Sokol Kremnica. Group III (Tatranska Lomnica): AC Nitra, ŠK Žilina, ŠK Liga Kežmarok, Vorwärts Kežmarok. The group winners were then going to advance to the finals, held in Novy Smokovec, on December 27.

However, a sudden thaw led to the games in Novy Smokovec and Poprad being cancelled. Meanwhile in Tatranska Lomnica, four games (two of which were only counted as friendlies) were played. The other matches could not be staged as there were 3-4 cm of water on the ice.
