In the stands of the ice rink, we inevitably recognize the “Concha Boys”, the group of Hormadi supporters, but the “Concha wall”, a little less so. She has a number, 37. She is of American nationality. His name: Dylan St-Cyr. Named man of the match twice after Chamonix and Bordeaux, the American goalkeeper disgusts his opponents. This was not the case this Tuesday evening, despite the mistrust inspired in Grenoble, guided by its top scorer Kyle Hardy (20 points). The leader won without batting an eyelid: 1-7.
The start of the meeting set the tone. The Wolfburners attack without a handbrake. In terms of skating speed and passing technique, everything is there. Despite everything, the Angloys put a lot of effort into ensuring that opposing constructions are not fluid. But Grenoble is in constant motion. From the 2nd minute, striker Aurelien Dair beat St-Cyr (0-1).
The break is done
On a few escaped pucks, Deslauriers, Polodyan and Kazarine manage to extricate themselves from the trap to present themselves in front of Pintaric. The Isère goalkeeper closes his angles well and the pucks pushed back from his boot are used for lightning counterattacks. Very quickly, Binner makes the break (0-2, 7th). The leader leaves only crumbs, small munitions sent to the depths of the territory. Just after, at the blue line, Boivin shoots from afar and finds the top corner (0-3, 17th). In this first third, Grenoble is in control.
Returning from the locker room, Grenoble is in the same tempo. Nicolas Deschamps performs well at the heart of the game so that powerful shots are deflected. The visitors are committed, each puck is on target. Boivin adds a fourth goal (0-4, 29th) and a fifth on the power play a few minutes later (0-5, 35th). That’s enough for St-Cyr, replaced by Charpentier. A minute later Valentin Grossetête will score from a tight angle (0-6, 36th). The third period begins with a seventh goal from Bachelet (0-7, 41st). All that remains for the Angloys is to save their honor. What they will do through Esipov (1-7, 54th). Now, it’s time for the trip to Cergy Pontoise (7th), this Friday. The Hormadi is 9th, just below the flotation zone synonymous with the playoffs.

The reactions
Hugo Baron (Hormadi striker). “This match is not linked to the emotion felt during the derby against Bordeaux (Editor’s note, 3-4 tab victory, this Sunday). This (Tuesday) evening, we produced a strong effort. I think it’s a pull for everyone but it’s up to us to show up for every game. We cannot afford to let them pass and not respond to adversity. He missed the fight… When you don’t show up against Grenoble, you pay for it straight away: we take seven.”
Stephane Barin (coach of Hormadi). “We have to keep this defeat in mind, obviously, and take the time to analyze it even if we fall against Grenoble who don’t play the same championship as us. I’m a little disappointed with the lack of reaction and emotion. We need to be more alive. We may have left some energy on Sunday but it’s these checkered results that bother me a little. We need to be consistent to aim for that middle of the table which interests a lot of people. Ultimately, the emotion should not only exist against Bordeaux but in every match, especially against a big team. We were at the top of the bill, we fell back to the bottom. Well we will work for next Friday. »
