It's TRUE, Belgium is rolling again Officially

K. Modern SCW in 1956 (source)

K. Modern SCW plays in Dutch League

The Belgium club K. Modern SCW (website: kmodernscw.be) will play roller hockey again. A group of seniors started training for some months ago and now they asked to the organization of Dutch League if they can play in the competition next year. So hopefully in 2012 a Belguim roller hockey team is playing again on competition level.

Not just seniors level plays Roller Hockey in Belgium

Other good news from Belgium is that a Belgium youth team will participate in a tournament (U13) in Eindhoven (RC de Lichtstad) on October 16.

The team is playing with the name “Brussels Stars”. Other teams that will come to Eindhoven are RSC Wasquehal (France), Swiss selection (U13), VRC (Netherlands), Herne Bay United (England), IGR Remscheid e.V. (Germany), SC Bison Calenberg (Germany) and of course RC de Lichtstad (Netherlands)

These are two great steps to introduce again the Roller Hockey in Belgium, country that was for some years one of the best playing our sport.

This is just the beggining!!!

Let's GO Belgium, because Roller Hockey needs YOU!!!

Belgium playing Roller Hockey Again

In 21th and 22th Belgium will host again a Roller Hockey Tournament.
Although it is a Veteran tournament for players with more than 35 years old, can show to young people of Belgium, the quality of a sport like roller hockey.
Probably most of Roller Hockey fans don't know that Belgium had some tradition of Roller Hockey, and suddenly due some reasons, disappeared from this sport (just some veterans keep playing it).
For example Belgium has a 2nd place in 1947 World/Euro Cup, a 2nd place of 1984 B World Cup, a 3rd place of 1938 Euro Cup and a Nations Cup conquered in 1951.

The teams to play in this Tournament will be:CP Roubaix (FRA), Agor (NED), EHRC Marathon (NED), REV Heilbronn (BEL), Kurink H.C.(BEL).

We would like to see Belgium Rolling Again, but for this something should be done! CERH and CIRH could help the federation, and also NRBB (Dutch Roller Hockey Association) that is doing some Roller Hockey Clinics in Netherlands. Taking advantage of the distance between Netherlands and Belgium, the cooperation could be decisive to reborn again Roller Hockey in Belgium.
