## History

Anglet Hormadi Élite was founded in 1969 and first took part in the Ligue Magnus, the top level French league, in the 1996–97 season. During the 1994–95 NHL Lockout, Brian Propp joined Hormadi. In the 2000–01 season, the club lost in the final of the Ligue Magnus. Two years later Anglet made it to the final of the Coupe de France, but were defeated.
After Anglet Hormadi Élite was relegated from the Ligue Magnus after the 2006–07 season, they dropped all the way to FFHG Division 3, the lowest level of French ice hockey, due to lack of funds. In the 2007–08 season, they also joined the Superliga Espanola de Hockey Hielo, the highest level of Spanish ice hockey. In their first season in Spain, they finished as runner-up in the championship, and lost in the semifinal of the Copa del Rey.
They won the FFHG Division 3 in 2009 and the FFHG Division 2 in 2010, and participated in the FFHG Division 1 from 2010 to 2018. In 2018 Homadi Anglet gained promotion to the Ligue Magnus for the first time in 12 years, after they defeated Albatros de Brest in the FFHG Division 1 playoff finals.
