LES SPARTIATES DE MARSEILLE
The Marseille Hockey Club, known as the Spartiates de Marseille, is a French ice hockey club based in Marseille, founded in 2012, and currently competing in the Synerglace Ligue Magnus, the highest level of French ice hockey. After successive promotions from Division 3 to Division 1, the club reached the Synerglace Ligue Magnus in 2023. The Spartiates finished the 2024/2025 season in the quarter-finals of the playoffs.
The club’s teams play in the largest permanent ice rink in France, the Palais Omnisports Marseille Grand Est, with a capacity of 5,600 seats.
The club aims to balance its CSR policy with an ambitious environmental approach, alongside its numerous social initiatives, which are a key pillar of its structure. The endowment fund led by Emma Troletti manages many social and environmental projects for the club. After initially receiving an insufficient score to obtain the label, the club implemented corrective actions, enabling it to achieve the first level of FPFP certification.
