This Saturday 4 November 2017, Grizzly de Garges will come to play Tornado Luxembourg in the French 3rd division ice hockey game.
The game is the 2nd of the 5 consecutive home games for Tornado. Last week-end, Tornado defeated Reims 4-2 in front of a numerous spectators - Tornado and Reims fans created a great atmosphere in Kockelscheuer. With this win Tornado strengthened its position in the fight for one of the four play-off spots in the group.
This week-end it is another chance to collect points. Garges’ season has not started well as they have lost all their four games, including a 7-5 loss against Reims. Even though the beginning of the season has been hard for Garges, Tornado should not underestimate them. There are some interesting individuals in Garges’ roster. Number 3, Lukas Zeman has already scored 6 points in three games which he has played and, on the net, Garges has a real hockey cosmopolitan, Danish 26 year-old Anders Jespersen. Despite his young age, France is already the 10th country where he has played ice hockey.
Tornado’s roster is in good shape. There has been a good intensity in practice and players are committed. Only hockey professor Robo Beran is still healing his athlete's body, but he will probably be back on the ice soon.
Tornado is now playing in an important part of the season and has a good chance to collect needed points. As seen last week-end, the audience can really be the sixth player for the home team.
Tornado Luxembourg will play Grizzly de Garges at Kockelscheuer on Saturday at 19:00.
