Yes until now the only french team who has ever played the top dividion (except the mens team ofc) was the womens U18 last year. Hopefully your youngs will do it this time.

 

  Allez les Bleuets !

Merci 

 

you´re welcome.

 

btw whats the current situation about the upcomming worlds in Paris and Cologne. Do you notice some increasing interest in the public or eventually a bigger medialisation in France ? or it is still the same. I heard that many famous persons were invited to promote the event, also there a special ice rink with WCH logo build on the Eiffel Tower. si I´m interested to know if it helped to popularize more the event in France.

I could ask any of my friend that currently lives in Paris and who are not into sports and I'm pretty certain they wouldn't know that the thing is coming in just a few weeks. I don't think the general audience will care, the small - but growing - hockey fan base will turn in, no doubt about that, the level of awareness among the general sport audience will grow a lot (myself included :p). But i think the general public will mostly don't bother.

 

BTW, I still think the federation has done an goob job trying to promote the event to a more general audeince (considering its size and where the sport stands in the country at the moment), We had the Astérix thing, the temporary rinks thing at the eiffel tower and the Paris City Hall, they managed to reach a very large panel of national sport figures, etc. BUT,  we are coming from a very long way (from pretty much nowhere actually). Babysteps.

 

Being in full political campaign doesn't help either

 

PS: 1-0 

PS2: fuck.

Yep, I see.

 

Well, I agree, your federation is doing one great job.

I follow a bit closely your hockey now for a while, and since your federation did left the french ice sport federation and became independent, your hockey began to really flourish. I see it year after year (even if the last one wasn´t very great tho ) but still. amazing job.

This is a long time I haven´t see so many atractive ideas and promo actions for a world championship than your federation is doing for this one. Hopefully the interest will rise more when the day D will get closer and Team France will do well in the tourney, this might be a huge boost for ice hockey in France, I sincerely hope French hockey will use this big opportunity.

 

2:1 after 40 min. looks good  just the guys must avoid these dumb penalities

Ah I see, you know your french hockey history quite well . Yeah, the split was a blessing not in disguise. It was very much needed, and turn out to be very succesfull (note to any italian hockey fans reading that, do it, trus us for once, it does work).

 

I'm usually very, very critical when it comes to how sports federations work in this country, but the FFHG has mostly been a very welcomed nice exception.

Congrats
