Walo da Rin / ZSC LionsLast night Maple Leafs prospect Fabrice Herzog and the Zurich Lions became the 2016 Swiss Cup champions.

The Swiss Cup is a trophy awarded to the top club team in Switzerland, and is a single elimination tournament spread out over the course of the hockey season. 32 teams total are invited to play, 12 from the NLA, 10 from the NLB, and 10 from the 1st level of Liga. Kind of a NHL/AHL/ECHL tournament but not really because the leagues are divided by relegation/promotion, than by development cycle.

The Swiss Cup was originally played from 1957-66. it was revived last year and SC Bern won the championships.
