Club des Patineurs de Paris was an ice hockey team in Paris, France. They played in the Ligue Magnus from 1902-1937.[1]
The club was founded on February 20, 1896 as a figure skating association. The hockey section was created in 1902, and they were founding members of the Ligue Magnus, the top level of French ice hockey, for the 1906-07 season. They were defeated by SC Lyon in the final in 1907, 8-2.
In the 1908 season, they met up with SC Lyon on a neutral site in Chamonix, and won their first French championship. After the 1908 season, the ice rink in Lyon was closed, and the championship was abandoned until 1912. When it re-started, Patineurs won the next three titles, in 1912, 1913, and 1914.
At the beginning of the First World War the club was put into the Ligue Magnus once more and the association was dissolved. After the War ended, the association was continued as the Paris Ice Skating Club until 1937.
