The team was founded in December 1940, comprised of former players from Nord Torino and G.U.F. Torino. Due to World War II, Torino played in the Serie A only in 1941 (the only competition staged during the war), where they lost to AC Milanese DG II in the qualification round, 6-2. In 1949, Juventus also played in two friendly games against Torino (a few months before the founding of HC Torino). The games, played on January 15 and 22, both ended in 2-2 ties.
