Anglet Hormadi Élite ( Hormadi for short ) is a French ice hockey club from Anglet that was founded in 1969 and will play again in the Ligue Magnus in the 2018/19 season .
history
Anglet Hormadi Élite was founded in 1969 and made it to the Ligue Magnus , the highest French ice hockey league , for the first time in the 1996/97 season . Previously, they drew attention during the lockout in the NHL season 1994/95 when the Canadian ice hockey player Brian Propp ended his career with the then second division club. In the 2000/01 season the team reached the final of the Ligue Magnus for the first time. Two years later, Anglet also reached the final of the Coupe de France for the first time , but lost again.
After Anglet Hormadi Élite (until 2011 Orques d'Anglet ) was established as a relegated athlete from the Ligue Magnus in the 2006/07 season, the French ice hockey association, the Fédération française de hockey sur glace , refused the club to be accepted into the second-class Division 1 , since the club had financial difficulties. After months of negotiations, it was finally agreed that Anglet would be relegated to fourth-rate Division 3 and be allowed to compete in the Spanish Superliga , the highest ice hockey league in the country. In her first season in Spain, Anglet Hormadi reached the final of the Spanish Championship and reached the semifinals of the Spanish Ice Hockey Cup . In the meantime, the sporting recovery succeeded and in 2017/18 the club won both the main round and the playoffs of Division 1 and thus returned to the Ligue Magnus.
