The Lions kicked off their second season in fine fashion, drawing a record crowd of 4,575 at the Colisée Vidéotron. The fans were treated to a pre-show by artists Jonas Tomalty and Marie-Luce Béland as the Lions add to the entertainment factor in their game presentations. With no preseason games ahead of the season-opener, it’s hard to tell how the team would respond. Last season in a similar situation, they were quickly outclassed by the Newfoundland Growlers.
This season, however, they took it to the Maine Mariners, and dominated the shots for the better part of the first period.
