Hockey Club Junior Milano Vipers was an Italian professional ice hockey team from Milan. Founded in 1998 as Hockey Club Junior Milano,[1] was renamed Vipers in 2000.[2]

In June 2008 the organization was disbanded and replaced with Hockey Milano Rossoblu,[3] a new club that employs much of the same office staff, but does not benefit from the same fundings and operates on a significantly tighter budget.

During their short history, the Vipers won 5 Scudetti, 3 Italy Cups and 3 Italian Super Cups.
