It’s quite the news that has dropped regarding the Trois-Rivières Lions.
We’ve just learned that forward Logan Nijhoff is officially leaving the organization to try his luck overseas.
The Lions placed his name on the suspended list in order to free up a spot on the active roster. It’s a standard procedure when a player decides to break his contract to head to Europe.
Let’s call it like it is, it’s a loss for the Laval Rocket’s ECHL affiliate.
Logan Nijhoff brought a physical presence and honest leadership in the locker room.
In Trois-Rivières, they are still searching for stability this season. Seeing a regular player pack his bags like that always leaves fans feeling a bit unsettled.
The organization made sure to publicly thank him for his services. We sincerely wish him the very best in his new challenge.
The path through the minors is often filled with obstacles and tough decisions. For Logan Nijhoff, the opportunity in Europe simply seemed too good to pass up.
Logan Nijhoff leaves Trois-Rivières for opportunity in Europe
“The Trois-Rivières Lions have placed forward Logan Nijhoff on the suspended list in order to remove him from the active roster.
He will be leaving the organization to pursue other opportunities in Europe.
Thank you for your time with the Lions, Logan, and best of luck!”

Management will have to shop quickly to fill that hole. With injuries up top involving the Montreal Canadiens and the Rocket, the depth charts are starting to thin out.
We can agree that the ECHL schedule waits for no one. Every point counts if you hope to make a run at the end of the season.
Let’s be honest, the climb is steep for young players coming up from the university ranks or junior hockey. Logan Nijhoff leaves with a sense of a job well done.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on whether a roster move happens before the weekend.
The phone is likely to ring often in the administrative offices.
