Saint Germain backper Hugo Dolou made a big impression in his first performance for the club last weekend when he shot home four times in an 8-1 success against FC Lyon last weekend.
It gave the Paris club a great start to the French championship and they will try to continue that momentum in a Saturday night fight with Racing Club de France.
The arrival of Royal Victory is a number of changes on the French side that are also stimulated by the return of Olympian Blaise Rogeau after spells with Gantoise and Waterloo Ducks.
On the other hand, Noé Jouin switched to Racing Club De Bruxelles, Hugo Verrier to Junior FC, while Guillaume Samson and Hugo Genestet have retired.
Nevertheless, it is a panel with healthy youth and experience. Captain François Goyet has been a crucial member of the French international team for ten years and he is back at the club where he grew up with Gantoise after several seasons.
Double Olympian Keenan Horne – from South Africa – is also a very handy player, because they guide a wealth of young players who are part of the impressive French minor teams.
Thomas Assoignon, Arthur Morcette, Gabriel Piole (together with Douai) and Jule Verrier were all part of the Junior World Cup Silver Medal, while Alexandre Hannaert was at the Onder-18 Kant who won European silver in Lille this summer.
The team is coached by Tom Genestet and continues the crucial connection of the family in the Saint Germain story in the EHL. He played in the first of the club’s companies in the competition in 2007/08 when they reached the KO8.
It started a journey that Saint Ger has seen competing in 14 seasons of the EHL, reached twice the last eight. They are back after an interruption of four years, the longest break between performances.
