Game Preview: Tornado Returns Home to Face Orléans!

15th October 2026

The boys are back in town! This Saturday 17 October, Tornado Luxembourg returns to the Kockelscheuer Ice Rink to host the Renards D'Orléans for their second home game of the D2 season [Get your Ticket Here!]. After a hard-fought battle in Paris last weekend, Tornado is hungry to defend their home ice and get back in the win column.

The Opponent: A Hungry Pack of Foxes
Orléans comes to Luxembourg with a major point to prove. The Renards have had a grueling start to their 2026-2027 campaign, facing off against tough opponents like Reims and Évry-Viry. Because of this challenging opening schedule, Orléans will arrive at Kockelscheuer absolutely desperate for points. They are expected to play with high intensity and physical edge, meaning Tornado will need to be fully awake from the opening face-off.

The Blueprint: Home Ice and Warrior Spirit
Despite coming up just short in a 5-3 loss to Français Volants last week, Coach Christer Eriksson saw plenty of positives, particularly praising the team's relentless fighting spirit and refusal to give up while chasing the game.
To secure three points this Saturday, Tornado needs to merge that never-quit attitude with the defensive perfection they showed in their last home game—the stunning 2-0 shutout over group favorites Hogly. If the boys put on their blue working dress, win the individual battles along the boards, and execute their structured game plan for a full 60 minutes, they will be incredibly difficult to beat on home ice.

Be the Sixth Player!
The Kockelscheuer Cauldron was buzzing during the home opener, and the team needs that exact same energy this weekend. The crowd is the ultimate sixth player, and your support makes a massive difference when the game is on the line.

Date: Saturday, October 17
Time: 19:00
Location: Kockelscheuer Ice Rink
