League position and verified status
Synerglace Ligue Magnus is France’s top national senior competition. The league has published its 2026/27 calendar, while FFHG still marks the season’s Magnus regulations and player-qualification document as forthcoming. Eligibility claims must therefore wait for the final documents.
2026/27 competition framework
The published dates are 15 September 2026 to 2 March 2027 for the regular season, 8 March to 17 April 2027 for the playoffs, and 9 March to 2 April 2027 for the relegation group. Match dates and regulations can change; verify the live calendar.
Clubs and choosing a target
Target clubs by position, role, roster construction, recent level, city and an authorised sporting contact. A place in the league does not prove a vacancy. Confirm the club, contact and exact recruitment need before sharing documents or paying travel costs.
What clubs assess
Clubs compare skating pace, play under pressure, special-teams value, role, verified recent statistics, full-game video, health, contract status, citizenship and administrative readiness. The application must show value at France’s top level, not only career totals.
Roster and foreign-player checks
Do not publish or assume one import limit while the 2026/27 qualification document remains unpublished. The club and FFHG must confirm how nationality, locally trained status, licence history, age and roster rules apply to the player.
Recruitment timing and tryouts
Recruitment may continue before and during the season, but a trial is not a contract. Confirm who invited the player, dates, evaluation criteria, travel, insurance, accommodation, equipment, expenses and the deadline for a written decision.
Contract, pay and housing
There is no official universal salary table for every club. Put gross or net pay, taxes, payment dates, bonuses, housing, deposit, utilities, meals, travel, equipment, insurance, injury protection, termination and return travel in writing.
Residence and right to work
EU/EEA and third-country citizens can follow different routes. A sports agreement or invitation does not itself grant entry, residence or work permission. The club and player must verify the official French process before travel or employment begins.
IIHF transfer, licence and insurance
An international move follows current IIHF transfer rules, but an IIHF transfer does not replace the FFHG licence, competition eligibility, insurance, immigration permission or a valid contract. Confirm responsibility for each step and fee.
Player application package
Send passport and any second citizenship; birth year, position, shot, height and weight; current team; verified statistics; Elite Prospects or federation profile; role-based highlights and a recent full game; contract or release status; health status and availability.
