In 2010, they were beaten 4-1 by them, in the same Continental Cup in France.

Matt Hubbauer scored a consolation goal near the end, in a team featuring two surviving modern day squad members, Robert Dowd and Jonathan Phillips.

Meanwhile The Star asked the Elite League to comment on rumours of financial uncertainty at bottom club Edinburgh Capitals.

A spokesman said: “We understand the Capitals are undergoing a re-structuring process within their business and they will update the EIHL Board at their next meeting on 28th November.”

The spokesman guaranteed that “Edinburgh will continue in the league this season.”
