Finale de la coupe de France Hockey 2018

Les champions de France en titre, les Rapaces de Gap ont affronté les Lions de Lyon dans l'arêne glacée de l'AccorHotels Arena. Une finale âpre et serrée que les lyonnais ont remporté 2-0 devant 11550 spectateurs, quatre années seulement après avoir rejoint la Ligue Magnus. Sport majeur aux Etats Unis et au Canada, le hockey sur glace reste en France une discipline dans l'ombre des sports de masse mais dont le nombre de licenciés ne cesse de s'accroitre depuis 10 ans (21 500 licenciés). Classé en dessous des grands championnats européens, l'élite française attire malgré tout chaque année plusieurs joueurs venus outre-atlantique malgré un contexte économique fragile. Lyon et Gap ont présenté pas moins d'une quinzaine de joueurs américains sur la glace parisienne. Reportage dans les coulisses de la victoire et de l'intimité du vestiaire lyonnais.
