The Trois‑Rivières Lions, the ECHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, have announced the signing of forward Félix Paré for the upcoming 2026‑27 season.
A pedigree of experience
Paré arrives after two seasons in the Elite Ice Hockey League, where he posted 33 points in 116 games for the Glasgow Clan and the Nottingham Panthers, while also accruing 130 penalty minutes.
The 26‑year‑old right winger previously spent over two seasons with the Wheeling Nailers in the ECHL, recording 35 points and 156 penalty minutes in 120 appearances.
Paré is the younger brother of Cédric Paré, a forward who currently skates for the Toronto Marlies in the American Hockey League, adding a familial connection to the organization’s developmental pipeline.
His junior years were spent in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League, where he compiled 64 points in 213 games for the Victoriaville Tigres and the Cape Breton Eagles over five seasons.
What the signing means for the Lions
General manager Martin Berger highlighted that Paré’s blend of offensive versatility and physical play aligns with the team’s vision of building a competitive roster capable of contending for a playoff berth.
The club’s fan base, rooted in Trois‑Rivières and steeped in Quebec’s rich hockey tradition, can look forward to seeing a player who has already tested the waters of professional hockey abroad and is eager to contribute to the community.
