After spending four seasons in Division 1, Nice were once again demoted to the third tier of French hockey, however, following a spate of liquidations, the FFHG were forced to merge the top two divisions, and as such Nice found themselves back in Division 1.

Nice would continue to play in Division 2 for two more seasons, before folding due to financial difficulties in 2003.[3]
