Stops more difficult than the others and at the end the same observation, the public appreciates the lucidity of his number 37. Dylan St-Cyr (24 years old) was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. The goalie comes from a great family of hockey players (his mother, Manon Rhéaume, was a silver medalist at the 1998 Olympic Games and a double world champion with Canada). He first played with the USNTDP (USA National team development program) and won a gold medal at the U18 world championship. After four years in Indiana, his professional career expanded with the obtaining of a degree in finance followed by an MBA (Masters in Business) at Quinnipiac University, in Connecticut.
His family, after a final year of university in Michigan, supported his desire to discover “a new culture to devote himself to his passion for hockey” while choosing the city of Anglet as his base, which, across the Atlantic, is sometimes perceived as a hidden gem. “Those who have visited it all say how beautiful it is but that’s not enough public knowledge,” says the player. I was extremely surprised, when I first arrived, by the beauty of this part of the country. It was also an opportunity to have a sporting impact.”
89.81% saves made
Today, the young man is fulfilled. “The French pace of life is slower, that has been the biggest change, like when restaurants and shops close in the middle of the day. It’s a unique situation in Europe and it can be frustrating,” he says with a smile. In his free time, golf clubs replace skates when an excursion with his girlfriend is not on the agenda. From Bayonne to Biarritz, via Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Saint-Sébastien, Basque culture charms it.
The sporting adventure, too, when it comes to facing the best French teams in the championship. “The quality of hockey is good. There is good competition even if the teams with the most money have an advantage. » With 89.81% of saves made, the 9th best goalkeeper in the League Magnus is an indisputable starter. It’s a great performance for someone who, when younger, never wanted to leave the ice. “Being a goalie was a way of staying there all the time. As I get older, I appreciate being able to control the outcome of the game, becoming more consistent through strict preparation and a routine that allows me to correct mistakes that may arise from time to time.”
If larger sizes are the priority of recruiters and coaches, this does not prevent other aspects from being improved: skating ability, consistency and puck handling. Despite a frustrating start to the season, Hormadi must be able to perform, according to St-Cyr, thanks to the coaches and a group made up of “very good people”. The athlete is currently only focusing on his club experience, guided by his passion, in order to best inspire his loved ones and the future generation. With a solid academic background and several internships in the financial sector, his future outside of hockey is well prepared.
Hormadi has no choice
A great party is being prepared for all Hormadi supporters this Friday at the La Barre ice rink. Anglet (12th/8 pts) hosts the Rouen Dragons (2nd/31 pts). From an accounting point of view, Pierrick Rézard’s men won’t really have a choice: they must win. As part of Pink October and raising awareness among women about breast cancer screening, three renowned guests will be present: Pauline Ado, 2017 world champion and ISA surfing vice-champion; Jérôme Hamelin, European vice-champion and winner of the 2022 para-rowing World Cup, and Guillaume Toucoullet, world number one and vice-world champion in para-archery.
Last October 6, the meeting in Rouen left its mark with the number of goals conceded by both sides (9-6 defeat for the Basques). Rouen striker Anthony Rech (5 goals, 8 assists) remembers Hormadi’s very good attack that day: “It’s the team against whom we conceded the most goals. We have to be serious and diligent and in my opinion, it will be a different match, intense, more closed on a small ice.”
