It has been two weeks since the amazing Veterans Day ice hockey evening experience and three weeks since the last French 3 division game; it is now time to get back to the basics this week-end when Amiens will visit Luxembourg this Saturday to play against Tornado Luxembourg.
Amiens is also one of Tornado’s main competitors for a spot in the playoffs. At present, Amiens is holding fourth position in the group with 9 points in 5 games, while Tornado is holding third position with 12 points in 6 games. Amiens has beaten Reims, Cergy and Garges and lost against Asniéres and Courbevoie.
Amiens' roster might be a bit of a mystery as they are the second team in the city and it is never sure if they will get players from their first team. At the moment Amiens’ best point scorer has been Adrien Josse who has scored 10 points in 5 games. In the league’s stats, he is one step higher than Tornado’s best scorer, Colm Cannon.
During the break, Tornado has been focusing on preparing well and has tried to develop both the physical and tactical part of their game. It has been nice to see more and more players in the gym...
Some Tornado players might be missing this week-end but they still should have a full roster. Happy news for the fans is that hockey professor Robo Beran was back on ice on Tuesday and he looked at least 20 years younger than before his injury. Anyway, this games comes too soon in his recovery and he won’t play yet.
The game starts 19:00 as usual in Kockelscheuer. Fans welcome.
