Newfoundland Growlers at Lions de Trois-Rivières

Growlers and Lions. Source.

The ECHL is the third tier of pro hockey in North America. This season there are two Canadian teams in the league: the Newfoundland Growlers and the Lions de Trois-Rivières.

The Growlers started in 2018-19, filling in at the 7,000-seat Mile One Centre after the AHL's ST. John's Ice Caps relocated to Laval and became the Rockets. Despite their Pittsburgh colours the Growlers are affiliates of the Leafs and the AHL Marlies. In Newfoundland a growler is a chunk of sea ice, but the brand designers have deployed a pun to tie it in to the Newfoundland dog.

Lions de Trois-Rivières are new this season. They're affliated with the Habs and those Laval Rockets. Their crest attractively combines a lion with the fleur-de-lys.

Tonight the Growlers and the Lions meet at Trois-Rivières' new Colisée Vidéotron, which just opened and replaces the venerable Colisée de Trois-Rivières, built in 1938.

Lions vs Growlers so far this season:

2021/12/12    Growlers 4 - 5 Lions

2021/12/11    Growlers 5 - 4 Lions

2021/12/10    Growlers 2 - 3 Lions

(Home team is shown first.)

Riessersee versus Starbulls Rosenheim

Alex "Star-Burns" Osbourne. Source.

Riessersee host Starbulls Rosenheim. Rosenheim are 3rd, Riessersee 8th.

Rosenheim hockey goes back to 1928. The club won the German championship in 1982, 1985 and 1989. They joined the Deutsche Eishockey Liga in its inaugural season 1994-95, but sold their license to Iserlohn Roosters in 2000. They came to the Oberliga from DEL2 in 2017. This is the fourth year in a row that Reissersee and Rosenheim are in the same league. (See below.)

Why a Starbull? The constellation Taurus has no apparent connection to Rosenheim; the heraldic emblem of the town of Rosenheim is a rose. This name Starbulls might be another one of those European attempts to make a hockey team sound more North American. In 1993, the year before Rosenheim took the Starbulls name, the Minnesota North Stars moved to Texas and became the Dallas Stars. The bull could be a reference to the Texan longhorn. I'm just guessing.

Morton visit New Douglas Park for an association football match with Hamilton Accies. Morton are sixth with 27 points and a -5 goal difference. Hamilton are seventh with 27 points and a -13 goal difference. Morton have not lost in league play since December 18th. Hamilton have not won since January 2nd. And to rub it in, Hamilton have not had a winning season since 2013-14. (See below.)

So far Morton have won 4 league games in calendar year 2022, versus 4 in all of 2021. (See below.) The Ton are presently on track to finish the season with 40 or 41 points. They can finish the day in sixth, seventh or eighth place. A win would allow them to start closing the 10-point gap between fifth and sixth place.

Dougie Imrie has been handed a six match ban for gambling on the football while he was a player. That should put him in the stands for today's match, plus the ones against Partick Thistle (Feb 22), Arbroath (Feb 26), Queen of the South (March 5), Partick again (March 12) and Dunfermline (March 19).

This is a Plenty of Nothing Championship Consolation Cup Round One match.

[Hamilton 1 - 0 Morton.]

The other Championship matches:

Dunfermline (9th) vs Partick Thistle (5th) (last night) (postponed -- pitch)

Inverness CT (3rd) [1 - 2] Ayr United (8th)

Killie (2nd) [3 - 0] Raith Rovers (4th)

QoS (10th) [0 - 0] Arbroath (1st)

Queen of the South sacked their manager following the Morton game last weekend. They cannot escape the cellar today but they have the opportunity to knock Arbroath out of first place if they win and Killie beat Raith Rovers.

Mark McGhee is in as Dundee manager. He played for Morton in the Seventies.
