About KHC Dragons
Reigning Belgian champions and complete with Olympic gold medalists like Felix Denayer, Simon Gougnard and Florent van Aubel, the host club is definitely one to watch over the EHL Ranking Cup weekend.
They came from out of the blue to win the Belgian title last season following a slow first half to the season to shine in the top eight group stages and then won the playoffs. Since then, there has been plenty of player movement with Gougnard joining the club from KHC Leuven and Conor Harte has added to their defensive line-up, switching from Royal Racing Club de Bruxelles.
On the goalkeeping front, Loic van Doren is back at the club after an impressive spell with Den Bosch, replacing Tobias Walter who has moved on to Braxgata. Of th other moves, Cedric Charlier returned to Racing, Luke Noblett to Australia and Bozz Willaert to Almere while Louis Rombouts has stopped.
There is also movement on the coaching front with Dennis Dijkshoorn taking on the coaching reins from Gilles van Hesteren who moved back to the Netherlands with SCHC.
