The Hockey Club Torino Bulls 2011 (formerly Hockey Club Torino) are an ice hockey team in Turin, Italy. They currently play in the third-tier Italian league, the Serie C.

History

The original club was founded as HC Torino in 1949. They played six seasons in the Serie A throughout their history, appearing in the league in 1954-55, 1956-57, 1963-64, 1967-68, 2003-04, and 2004-05. They played the 2003-04 season as HC Torinovalpe, as part of a short-lived merger with HC Valpellice. The combined club was relegated to the Serie A2, but after splitting Valpellice was relegated, while Torino retained their spot in the Serie A as an independent club. HC Torino folded after the 2005-06 season, in which they finished in 10th place in the Serie A2.

The club was re-founded as the Hockey Club Torino Bulls in 2011, and immediately began playing in the Serie C.
