If there is one certainty in the ECHL it’s that there will be plenty of uncertainty. The Lions de Trois-Rivières had a successful start to the season, with an unusual amount of stability and roster predictability. But ever since the Montreal Canadiens and Laval Rocket began piling up injuries and dealing with player unavailability due to COVID-19 outbreaks, the Lions have been on their toes as they felt the knock-on effects.
By December, the team reached out to the Ligue Nord Americaine de Hockey (LNAH) to find replacement players. Now with the LNAH starting up play again, the Lions had to once again find a new source of players.
