Before the tournament in 1976, the organizers had received a new sponsor who also belonged to the car industry. The company Dex, which mainly manufactured spare parts for Volvo, became the main sponsor and the long-lasting name Dexcupen was born!


FINNISH VICTORY FOR THE FIRST TIME!

OLS UleÃ¥borg, Finland was the first foreign winner of the Cup. The victory in the final game was against VästerÃ¥s SK 3-2. OLS came to Ljusdal without having played a single match on a big ice. But it didn’t show. In the first match against the home team LBK, the Finns made a big impression and won 5-1. Then the team continued.
