The Brûleurs de Loups (French for Wolf Burners) are a professional ice hockey team that play in Grenoble, France.

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1963 under the name Grenoble Hockey Club. Since 1992, the club has been known as the Brûleurs de Loups.

The Brûleurs de Loups hockey team plays in the Ligue Magnus, the highest level in France. They have won the championship eight times (1981, 1982, 1991, 1998, 2007, 2009, 2019, 2022), the French Cup five times (1994, 2008, 2009, 2017, 2023) and the League Cup four times (2007, 2009, 2011, 2015).

Former Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Cristobal Huet played for Grenoble from the beginning of his career until 1998. Columbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier started his career in Grenoble as well. They were both born in nearby Saint-Martin-d'Hères.

In February 2023, the Brûleurs de Loups secured their first place in the Magnus League and won the Jacques Lacarrière Trophy.[1]
