When Les Tontons Flingueurs , now known as the Toulouse TonTons , were founded by Laurent Hamet in February of 1992 they quickly became a team to be reckoned with on the European circuit . Incredibly , the TonTons have played in more than 350 events in those 30-plus seasons , racking up a ridiculous 119 first-place wins and more than 200 top three podium showings . And they ’ ve not stayed at home picking on lesser teams . The TonTons have won and placed in events in the United States , England , Russia , Malaysia , Iran , Spain , Belgium , Italy , Portugal , Poland , Germany , Austria , Lithuania , Hungary , Ukraine , Turkey , Hungary , Bulgaria , Czech Republic , Norway , Sweden , Canada , Denmark , and the Netherlands . Their resumé is one of the best in the game ’ s history .
And once again , for what seems like the hundredth time , the TonTons are European Champions by virtue of their win at the NXL Europe ’ s finale event on 2023 .
