Girona’s Hockey Presence Doubles: SHUM and Lloret Prepare for OK Lliga Campaign
The Girona region is set to field two representatives in the upcoming OK Lliga season, as CH Lloret joins SHUM Frit Ravich in Spain’s premier roller hockey competition. Following a hard-fought promotion campaign, Lloret returns to the top flight to compete alongside the Maçanet de la Selva side, which successfully secured its place in the division last year.
With the official league calendar now confirmed, both clubs have identified their opening hurdles for the season, which is scheduled to commence between October 30 and November 1.
SHUM Frit Ravich Opens at Home
SHUM Frit Ravich, entering the season with stability in its leadership, will begin its campaign at home. The team, which continues under the direction of coach Jordi Garcia, is slated to host Rivas Las Lagunas of Madrid in the opening round.
Lloret’s Return to the Top Flight
Their reintroduction to the OK Lliga will be tested immediately; they face a difficult opening fixture away from home against Noia Freixenet.
The Selva Derby Schedule
The league calendar confirms the first derby match will take place in the sixth round of the season, hosted by Lloret. The return fixture, held in Maçanet de la Selva, is scheduled for the nineteenth round.
Season Structure and Outlook
With the start date set for the final weekend of October, teams have limited time to finalize their preseason preparations.
