SC Lyon was one of the founding members of the Ligue Magnus in 1906-07. They won the first French Championship by defeating Club des Patineurs de Paris 8-2 in the final. In 1907-08, the two teams again faced each other for the title. On neutral ground in Chamonix, Patineurs was able to defeat Lyon 2-1 to win their first title.
