Rouen Hockey Élite 76 is a French ice hockey team based in Rouen playing in the Ligue Magnus. The team is also known as "Dragons de Rouen" (Rouen Dragons).
The team was founded in 1982 and plays home games at the Centre sportif Guy-Boissière.
History
Only 3 years after its foundation, the club, then named RHC (Rouen Hockey Club), reached the French elite championship in 1985 and has since maintained at this level, being the second club with the most consecutive years at this level, only behind Amiens.
Rouen won its first French league title in 1990 and then appeared in 7 consecutive finals, winning the title in 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 while finishing runner-up in 1991 and 1996.
During that era, the club enjoyed much success, participating in European tournament, and winning the Six Nations Tournament in 1996 and the Atlantic league in 1995 and 1996.
Rouen had less success in the second half of the 1990s, but since then has returned to its winning ways. The team won 12 additional French league titles: 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010 through 2013, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2023 and 2024. During the 2005-2006 season, the team achieved the rare feat of being unbeaten, winning all of their regular season matches except for one tie, and sweeping their opponents in the playoffs.
With 18 titles, Rouen has the second-most elite championship titles of any French city, trailing only Chamonix (30 titles) and Paris (18 tied), although Paris won its titles with 8 different teams.
