A departure and an arrival

Niko SUORANIEMI will not follow briançonnaise adventure. We thank it for the involvement under our colours and we wish him " good continuance ".

SEAN ROBERTSON, Canadian, disembarks in Briançon from our co-residents of D1 last season: the Jokers of Cergy-Pontoise, where it was credited with a total of 25 points in matchs 31. Paradoxically, he joins the Red Demons, rather for his defensive trumps, the quality of his positioning and " the first famous pass " always very important in our sports. We can already say to you that he is very happy to be with us and that it is ready to take up challenge.
