Hockey: maintenance objective for the Scorpions
Difficult start in D2 for the Scorpions, who gave everything to finish in the top 8, synonymous with maintaining their position.
―Guillaume Rudin
Winners of the D3 championship last season and therefore promoted to D2 for 2025-2026, the Scorpions currently occupy eighth place in the standings of their group. A qualifying place for the play-offs, which is above all, synonymous with maintaining D2. This Saturday, January 10, the Mulhousiens travel to Dijon (9th) for a match which is already of capital importance for maintenance: a victory would relegate one of their direct competitors to 6 points, before the home match against Valence (2nd), on January 17 at 6:20 p.m.
