In the last few seconds, the Trois-Rivières Lions, affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens, have announced the signing of Justin Ducharme.
Ducharme, 23 years old and hailing from Mirabel, is a 6-foot forward weighing 183 pounds. He has collected 8 points (5 goals) in 22 games in the AHL.
He also played 19 games with the Laval Rocket in the 2021-22 season before making the jump to the Texas Stars. So, indeed, it's a return to the Canadiens' organization for young Ducharme.
The former player of the Val d'Or Foreurs, Chicoutimi Saguenéens, and Acadie-Bathurst Titan will strive to make his mark for the Habs' ECHL-affiliated club.
