Wikipedia - Trois-Rivières Lions

The Trois-Rivières Lions (French: Lions de Trois-Rivières) are a professional minor league ice hockey team in the ECHL based in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. The team began play in the 2021–22 season, with home games held at Colisée Vidéotron. They are affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League, and the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League. The Lions won the Kelly Cup in the 2024–25 ECHL season.

History

With construction beginning in early 2020 to replace the aging Colisée de Trois-Rivières, Dean MacDonald, majority owner of the Newfoundland Growlers (through his group Deacon Sports and Entertainment (DSE)), came to an agreement with Trois-Rivières city officials to place an ECHL franchise in Colisée Vidéotron for the 2021–22 season. In November 2020, the team finalized its lease agreement. Subsequently, the Lions organization was approved by the league's board of governors in January 2021. That same month, the Montreal Canadiens announced that the foregoing would serve as their ECHL affiliate.

In June 2021, the team name was announced as the Trois-Rivières Lions, a homage to the only previous professional team to play in the city, the Trois-Rivières Lions, from 1955 to 1960. Days later, Éric Bélanger was appointed as the team's inaugural head coach.

In early 2024, DSE was experiencing financial difficulties, and owed the city of Trois-Rivières nearly CA$1 million in arena back rent. In April 2024, the Growlers also owned by DSE, ceased operations. The ECHL took temporary ownership of the Lions pending the sale of the franchise to new ownership, allowing the team to complete the 2023–24 season. A week later, the league approved the purchase of the Lions by American businessman Jeff Dickerson via his company Spire Sports + Entertainment (SS+E).

During the 2024–25 season, the team set a single-season high for wins, earned their first divisional title, and won the 2025 Kelly Cup playoffs.
