Forward placed on suspended list as exit from Canadiens organization is confirmed
In Trois-Rivières, Andrew Coxhead is already leaving the Lions' lineup.
On Tuesday, the team announced that it had placed Andrew Coxhead on the suspended players list in order to remove him from the lineup. The message is clear: this is not a simple rest, but a departure. In practical terms, it frees up a roster spot and closes the door on a quick return to the club.
This type of move is a reminder of how the organization must constantly juggle short-term profiles. The Trois-Rivières Lions serve as an entry point, a showcase, and sometimes a springboard. When a forward decides to pursue opportunities elsewhere, the organization has to keep moving, no matter the time of year.
Andrew Coxhead is suspended by the Trois-Rivières Lions and exits the Montreal Canadiens organization
Coxhead's path remains typical of a player who climbed the ladder one step at a time. He played in the QMJHL with the Quebec Remparts, Rimouski Oceanic, and Gatineau Olympiques before carving out a place for himself at the professional level.
Here is the message from the Trois-Rivières Lions regarding him:
"The Trois-Rivières Lions have placed forward Andrew Coxhead on the suspended players list in order to remove him from the lineup.
He will be leaving the organization to pursue other opportunities in the United Kingdom.
Thank you for your time with the Lions, Andrew!"

The Lions also confirmed that he will continue his career in Europe, which explains the immediate reshuffling of the lineup.
Let's put it plainly: Trois-Rivières has just lost a piece, but the door remains wide open for the next arrival.
