About Royal Leopold Club
Royal Léopold have had something of a mixed bag in the Carlsberg 0.0 League in recent weeks as they followed a 4-0 home loss to Herakles with a rousing 2-2 comeback draw against Gantoise.
It leads up to an EHL date with HC Wien on October 9th in the KO16 in Barcelona where they will hope to pursue a third successive ticket to the FINAL8.
Their strikers are firing with Tom Boon and Gaspard Baumgarten on the mark while with José Basterra and Nelson Onana, they have an irresistible forward line.
Beyond them, the likes of Gauthier Boccard, Corentin De Trez, Dylan Englebert, Dimitri Cuvelier, Tanguy Zimmer and Romain Henet have been the backbone of the side for a while.
This season, Spanish international Alejandro Alonso is the big signing this summer, making the moving from Racing Santander.
Moving on, last season’s captain John Verdussen has retired from the first team having been part of each of Léo’s EHL campaigns dating back to 2012.
Nicolas Poncelet will play with Club de Campo de Madrid this season. Elliot van Strydonck has gone to Racing Club de Bruxelles.
On the coaching front, Jill Boon links up with the side to be T3 and will be there in support of Max Bertrand.
This is their ninth EHL season with their best outcome in 2021 when they got bronze in the Wagener Stadium.
