Grenoble knows the menu for its Continental Cup final. Qualified for the final tournament in Cardiff, the Brûleurs de loups will compete in a four-way championship to try to win a European title. To do this, the players of Per Hanberg, the Swedish coach who arrived during the off-season, will have to face new adversity.
They will play against the Welsh from Cardiff, the Kazakhs from Kokshetau and the Poles from Katowice. Grenoble has already crossed paths with the Poles during the semi-final in Aalborg (Denmark). The team dominated the Poles (4-2). Katowice finished first in the group, tied on points (6) with Grenoble. In the other group, the Kazakhstan players of HC Arlan Kokshetau dominated the group (7 points, 2 victories, 1 defeat in overtime) and Cardiff finished second with 6 points.
