Personal life

Cattini was born on 27 September 1916 in Grono, Switzerland. He grew up alongside his brother Hans Cattini.[1] He was nicknamed "Pic" due to his short stature.[2] He worked as an electrician tradesman in Davos, Switzerland for teammate Albert Geromini.[3]

Playing career

Starting in 1933, Cattini, his brother, and Bibi Torriani played on a forward line known as "The ni-storm" (German: Der ni-sturm), for HC Davos. The line was named for the last syllable (-ni) of players' surnames. The ni-storm was regarded as the top line of HC Davos and Switzerland's national hockey team.[2] As a member of HC Davos, "The ni-storm" won 15 Swiss championship titles.[4] This line consistently competed against Gebhard Poltera and his line from EHC Arosa.[5] Cattini developed a reputation as an on ice enforcer.[2] He retired from HC Davos in 1956 and took over coaching duties from 1952 to 1962.[6]

He was inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame in 1998.[4]

International play

In 1936, he participated with the Swiss ice hockey team in the Winter Olympics tournament. In 1948, he participated with the Swiss ice hockey team in the Winter Olympics tournament where he won a bronze medal.[3] During the tournament, Switzerland held a 6–2 record.[7] In total, Cattini won six European Championships.[3] He also participated in two Olympic Games and seven IIHF World Championships.[8]

In 2019, Patrik Laine surpassed Cattini's record for most goals scored by an 18-year-old at the IIHF World Championship.[9]

Death and legacy

He died at the age of 52 from a long-term illness.[1] The Spengler Cup dedicated a division in his name.[10]

In 2020, he was introduced in to the IIHF All-Time Switzerland Team.
