Founded in 1935 thanks to the initiative of Edoardo Carli, AS Asiago made its debuts in the Serie B, where it played some good seasons before World War II interrupted play for several seasons (excluding 1940-41). Following the War, it took only one season 1946-47) to Asiago to be promoted to the Serie A. The club maintained itself there for seven years before falling back to the Serie B in 1955. In 1991 came the first silverware of the team's history when Asiago defeated HC Alleghe in the Coppa Italia final, a competition they would win again in 2001 and 2002.
