Players to watch for the Lions de Trois-Rivières:
#18 Xavier Cormier: In second spot among the team's point-getters, the older of the Cormier brothers has recorded 41 assists since the start of the season; his next assist will put him in the team's record books for the most assists in a single regular-season.
#20 Andrew Coxhead: When the 6'3" forward arrived in Trois-Rivières he had 3-5-8 totals in 53 games this season. In the eight games he's played for the Lions he's already matched his goal total of three and has added two assists. His aggressive style of play is a major asset for the Lions' fourth line.
