The Trois-Rivières Lions have signed defenseman Jake Gravelle to an ECHL contract for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. Gravelle, 25, had a goal and six assists for seven points in the EIHL with the Guildford Flames. This signing comes just a day after the Lions announced that Wyatt McLeod is heading overseas to Europe. I would expect Gravelle to start on the third paring to help get his footing down with the Lions. He should be in the lineup for the Lions on Friday when they host the Adirondack Thunder.
