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.
