Trois-Rivières is getting an ECHL team. That’s been the easy part compared to everything else that needs to happen.
“We are only ten months away from puck drop,” said team president Mark Weightman in an interview with Eyes On The Prize, “and I’ve already started talking about it in those terms. There is already a sense of urgency leading up to October, 2021.”
Right now, it’s merely a question of waiting for several procedural steps to occur — not if, but when — for the team to become official. “Obviously, there’s no reason to expect anything but positive results once the vote actually takes place,” said Weightman.
