History Anglet Hormadi Élite was founded in 1969 and first took part in the Ligue Magnus, the top level French league, in the 1996–97 season.

After Anglet Hormadi Élite was relegated from the Ligue Magnus after the 2006–07 season, they dropped all the way to FFHG Division 3, the lowest level of French ice hockey, due to lack of funds.
