The club was founded in 1963 under the name Grenoble Hockey Club. Since 1992, the club has been known as the Brûleurs de Loups.

The Brûleurs de Loups hockey team plays in the Ligue Magnus, the highest level in France. They have won the championship eight times (1981, 1982, 1991, 1998, 2007, 2009, 2019, 2022), the French Cup five times (1994, 2008, 2009, 2017, 2023) and the League Cup four times (2007, 2009, 2011, 2015).
