History
The town of Meudon saw its first ice hockey team in 1976 as part of the larger municipal sports federation. The club played in various leagues in the late 1970s and early 80s before establishing itself as a fully independent club in 1982.[1] While initially established in the French third league, the Meudon Hockey Club ran into trouble and were out of the league by 1984. When the French fourth league was established in 1986, Meudon was one of the founding teams an they remained with the league for nearly two decades.
In 2003, French professional hockey was reorganized and Meudon received a promotion back to the third league. The club was largely unsuccessful, facing relegation many times over the next five years. In both 2006 and 2008, Meudon was scheduled to be demoted back to the fourth league, however, they were able to remain in the third league thanks to other teams folding.[2] Eventually the club was able to change fortune in their favor and became a consistent playoff team beginning in 2009. In 2020, Meudon rose to the top of the league. Though the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of the postseason that season, the club remained in good standing afterwards.[3] After finishing as the league runners-up in 2023, Meudon was able to take advantage of an opening in the French second league and accepted a promotion to FFHG Division 1 for the first time.[4]
