Trois-Rivières Lions 2021-22 Lions de Trois-Rivières

And it continues. Looks like a pretty good ECHL D.
I knew they were going to get a bunch of QC guy for the team, but a this point I'm starting to wonder if there's going to be any non-QC (or non ex-QMJHL) players on the team.
To be clear, I don't really mind it as many of the signings are pretty decent/good ones.

It was to be expected. My guess is we will hear 5-6 more. I would try out with Samuel Asselin.

Let's not underrate the snowball effect these signings will have on the Quebec-born AHL/ECHL players. That's Ducharme, Desruisseaux, Bourque, Poulin, Martel, Beaudoin in a very short span, plus how many Quebecers already signed.
If you're a Quebec AHL/ECHL free agent right now, you're probably calling your agent in a panic trying to get in on the action. Who wouldn't want to play for Laval or Trois-Rivières if you're from here?
Especially with Bouchard as head coach (if back, of course).
Players will be lining up to sign with this team.

Marc-André Bergeron clearly said he wanted to sign as many QC players as possible.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's literally the whole team.
So far so good, for Trois-Rivières. I think they are allowed to sign free agents starting this week. I expect a flurry of signings very soon.

Last played in the LNAH in 2019-2020. I could see him being signed for TR.

if the plan is Primeau McNiven in Laval, Poulin in 3R then I hope they bring in a 20 year old goalie to learn from Poulin.
Agreed. Samuel Harvey, Alexis Shank, Samuel Hlavaj, Alexis Gravel, Matthew Welsh are good candidates from the Q

If memory serves, they had Harvey around for one or two summer camps. The name definitely rings a bell. They would be pretty familar with him.

If I'm not thinking of the wrong guy, he came very close to getting a deal with us as an invite in one of our summer camps once upon a time.

And the local signings continue for the Lions. Fortin should be a fine player for them.

I was part of a team that won a Concordia intramural division championship on that rink, many years ago.

Maybe the next Gourde won't slip through their fingers next time.

Although Fortin is on a two-way deal, he will most likely stay in Laval. He's played only 24 games in the NHL for the Blackhawks, but he's been an AHL'er the rest of his pro career.

I think that is the goal. Not to let other Gourdes and Marchessaults get away from them. It doesn't mean every Quebecer will sign with 3R or Laval, some will end up signing elsewhere.
But they want to increase their chances of having kids like Gourde, Marchessault, Desharnais, Burrows, and Bouillon to name a few, who went undrafted and started in the ECHL and/or AHL and worked their way up to the NHL and having great careers.

Isn't he the one who made the Blackhawks opening day lineup not that long ago ? Am I thinking of the wrong guy ? Did he somehow regress after that ? He seemed pretty close to making it at one point.

You are correct.
He played 24 games with Chicago a few years ago. He played most of his pro career in the AHL with Rockford and last year with Colorado Eagles.
