Coqs De Courbevoie
The Coqs de Courbevoie (English: Courbevoie Roosters) are an ice hockey team based in Courbevoie, Hauts-de-Seine, France. History The club was founded in 1972, coinciding with the opening of the city's ice rink at the newly built Centre Charras. Philippe Lacarrière, player-coach for the Français Volants, was approached by a friend who sat on the Courbevoie city council to help set up a resident club at the new facility. Lacarrière agreed, on the condition that the club be primarily geared towards minor hockey, rather than professionalism. Lacarrière initially enlisted Français Volants goalie Eric Mayer to run Courbevoie's hockey academy, but in 1973 Mayer was succeeded by Thierry Monier, himself a player and minor hockey assistant coach for the Volants. Monier would remain with Courbevoie for thirty-three years, a French hockey coaching record. The team's name was chosen because it was phonetically similar to the initials of the Centre olympique de Courbevoie, the multispor ...

Charles Deprez
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. In the particular case of Dutch, ''Karel'' refers to the given name, whereas the noun ''kerel'' means "a bloke, fellow, man". Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed its ...
