TRADE ALERT: Quebecois Defenseman Leaves the Organization

Indeed, the Trois-Rivières Lions, the ECHL affiliate of the Canadiens, have traded the rights of Quebec defenseman Marc-Antoine Pepin to the Fort Wayne Komets in return for financial compensation.

Standing six feet four inches tall and weighing nearly 200 pounds, the 22-year-old defenseman from Trois-Rivières only played 12 games under the direction of Ron Choules, accumulating just one assist during his time in the Quebec organization.

He will now join the Fort Wayne Komets, who are currently fighting for first place in the Central Division with a record of 20 wins, 16 losses, and four overtime defeats.

As for the Lions, after a historic start to the season, things have become much more complicated, now ranking fifth in the North Division, just one point away from the last playoff spot.
