With a 5-0 victory against the Worcester Railers on Friday night, the Lions de Trois-Rivières are headed to the ECHL post-season in their inaugural year.
It took up to the penultimate game of the season to secure the berth, as well-documented personnel challenges in February and March sunk the Lions in the standings after a dominant month of November when the Lions won seven games in a row, including a three-game sweep of the Florida Everblades on a successful marquee road trip for the team.
The Lions have one more game to play on Saturday afternoon to complete their regular-season schedule.
