TROIS-RIVIÈRES - The Canadiens' new ECHL affiliate has a name: the Trois-Rivières Lions.
The expansion club unveiled its nickname and logo on Thursday, paying homage to the city's roots with a fleur-de-lis inspired mark, and a nod to the former Lions franchise that represented Trifluvians from 1955 to 1959.
