The Director General of the City of Trois-Rivières, François Vaillancourt, confirms that the Lions will have a reprieve until the end of the playoffs, due to an offer that ensures the team's sustainability in the city.
Mr. Vaillancourt called a buyer whose identity is still being kept secret as a saviour. He was saved by the scruff of the buttocks, he told councillors at a working session on Tuesday. Mr. Vaillancourt indicated that negotiations had been underway for several days.
Les décideurs de l'ECHL must approve the transaction, which could be done in the next three days.
Lions employees were met in the last few minutes.
