Missed out on qualifying for the playoffs, the team from Nice will have to fight for their place in the Ligue Magnus alongside Anglet Hormadi, the Mulhouse Scorpions, and the Briançon Red Devils. This should not pose a problem since their advantage over the latter is significant.
However, the season is still a failure since the objective was not just to avoid relegation but to be among the 8 who qualify.
But before that, the team from Nice concluded their season at home by hosting the Brûleurs de Loups from Grenoble at Jean Bouin. It was a very good exercise to prepare for the relegation group.
Well, the Eagles finally broke the six-game deadlock with an unexpected result, considering the gap in the standings between the two teams.
The match was balanced during the first two periods (1-0; 0-1), then the players from the Côte d’Azur turned up the pace and scored two goals, resulting in a final score of 3-1.
Now it’s time for the playouts for Stan Sutor’s players, with the regret of having missed their chance!
