The Trois-Rivières Lions (affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens) are proud to unveil their schedule for the 2026-27 season.

The season will begin on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 7 p.m. at Colisée Vidéotron, as the Lions welcome the Trenton Ironshawks for a historic first-ever meeting. The Ironshawks, a new ECHL franchise based in New Jersey, will also play the first game in franchise history on Quebec soil.

Another new development this season will see the Lions travel to New Jersey for the first time on November 27 to face the Ironshawks on their home ice. In January, the Fort Wayne Komets will also make their first-ever visit to Quebec before Ron Choules’ squad heads to Indiana following the ECHL All-Star break. The Bloomington Bison will also be a new opponent on the schedule, as the Lions travel to Bloomington on February 12 and 13.

Season tickets and half-season packages for the upcoming campaign are already on sale. They are available at lions3r.com
or through a sales representative at 819-519-1634.
