Draft:Rink Hockey Club

The Rink Hockey Club de Lyon, or RHC Lyon is one of the roller sports clubs in the city of Lyon, France.

History
Founded in 1983 by Jacky Avondo, who presided over it for 33 years. Initially, the club was located in the sixth district of Lyon. It was on the track opposite the lycée du Parc where the club's first successes flourished, including the French Champion N3 title.

With the promotion to the National N2 Championship, the club had to change tracks and moved to la Duchère to enjoy a track that was first covered, then enclosed. It is in this venue that the club experienced its most recent successes and trained the players of the current National 1 team.

Despite playing at the highest level, the club struggles to compete with the Breton clubs.

Facilities
The players play in the hall on rue Andrei Sakharov. The track is described as difficult by opposing teams.
