Tornado Travels to Wasquehal Looking to Build Momentum!

11th November 2026

Riding high after an electric 5-1 home victory over Courbevoie in front of more than 950 fans at Kockelscheuer, Tornado Luxembourg hits the road this Saturday, November 14th, for a high-stakes clash against the Lions de Wasquehal.
With the mid-season battle for playoff positioning heating up, this road trip represents a prime opportunity for Tornado to solidify their standing, create breathing room from the bottom of the table, and make a push up the ranks.

The Stakes: A Pivotal Six-Pointer
The standings in Group A are razor-thin, turning every single fixture into a high-stakes battle:
 6th: Gaulois de Châlons (8 points)
 7th: Renards d'Orléans (7 points)
 8th: Tornado Luxembourg (7 points)
 9th: Lions de Wasquehal (4 points)
A regulation victory would allow Tornado to break away from the bottom pack and pull 6 points clear of Wasquehal. Just as importantly, it immediately heaps pressure on 7th-place Orléans—who sit tied on 7 points—while keeping Tornado right on the heels of 6th-place Châlons (8 points). With the pack tightly bunched, every point gained swings the momentum dramatically in the playoff race.

The Opponent: Wounded and Dangerous
Wasquehal enters the weekend reeling from a brutal 16-6 defeat against Évry-Viry. While that blowout highlights defensive cracks that Tornado can certainly exploit, a wounded team on home ice is always dangerous. The Lions will be determined to wipe away last week's memory and will come out flying with maximum urgency from the opening face-off.

Keys to the Game: Discipline and Rhythm
Carrying Over the 5-on-5 Dominance:
Against Courbevoie, Tornado found their fluid offensive groove from the second period onward, with goals coming from Jan Shikera, David Church, Dmytro Danylenko, Julien Vogt, and Rowan Miller.
Generating that same secondary scoring and sustained offensive zone time will be essential on the road.

Staying Out of the Box:
Tornado’s penalty kill was heroic last weekend, shutting down every shorthanded situation thrown at them. However, giving away unnecessary minutes in the penalty box on the road is playing with fire. Controlled discipline and staying on the right side of the referee's whistle will keep Wasquehal's power play off the ice.

Goaltending Form: 
The goaltending was virtually impenetrable last week, coming within eight seconds of a clean sheet. Maintaining that composure between the pipes will give the offense the foundation it needs to attack with confidence.
